In our previous update, we highlighted Brentford’s interest in the Danish midfielder and their eagerness to explore potential connections with Celtic. Now, as the spotlight intensifies on this promising talent, ‘EPL Teams are Targeting Matt O’Riley,’ we can see how the net of clubs south of the border widens, allured by Matt O’Riley’s outstanding season.
SportSynergy now reports that Brighton, following in the footsteps of Brentford, has also entered the race and has set their sights on the 22-year-old talent, as they are all intrigued by his exceptional season.
A few months ago, Celtic turned down Fulham’s late £10 million offer, and the midfield player went on to sign a new four-year contract that will keep him with the team through 2027.
He has scored six goals so far this season and has improved his game while still supporting his teammates. In the first three Champions League games, he has set up Kyogo brilliantly twice and has had excellent performances.
He joined the Hoops almost two years ago for a mere £1.5 million from MK Dons, and since then, he has been a terrific performer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, in order for the player to leave the club, Celtic would have to pay a record-breaking Scottish transfer fee.
