Big Spanish club want to sign Celtic highly-rated talent

Celtic has a strong youth academy. One of their young talents has recently been linked to a big Spanish club.

Youth development is also fundamental to Athletic Club, and the sporting department is looking to sign talent. The club’s philosophy limits the range of signings, as Athletic can only field players who are born or trained in Euskal Herria.

In this context, the Basque entity has found in Celtic the replacement for Inaki Williams, according to reports. We are talking about Zion Pullan, who is recording record numbers in The Hoops’ youth categories.

The Celtic forward has 58 goals and 35 assists this season, which has aroused the interest of Athletic Club. Pullan, 15, fits the profile that the Basque club is looking for for the future of the Basque entity.

In Lezama, the player would complete his training to make the jump to the first team. According to La Cantera de Lezama (h/t Estadio Deportivo), the player is very well liked by the sporting department and fits with the philosophy of the Bilbao club, as he was born in Tudela, a municipality in Navarre.

The player is still very young, but his rapid growth in football has already led him to play for Celtic’s under-17 team at just 15. The Spanish federation has already called him up to play with the under-15 team after the interest he has aroused in Europe with his extraordinary numbers.

The same report states that, in addition to Athletic Club, several teams across Europe, including the red-and-white club, are closely following the development of the young Celtic forward, who has become one of the sensations of youth teams in European football.
