Celtic are seeing an increased number of academy graduates leave the club in search of first-team football elsewhere after Daniel Kelly sealed a move to Millwall.
While Celtic fans are anxiously waiting to see what new players the club sign before the close of the transfer window there must be real concern why another two of their best young talents have decided to leave Parkhead.
‘DISASTER’ – Rangers set to MISS Champions League deadline!
Highly-rated midfielder Daniel Kelly is the latest young player to opt to leave Celtic for pastures new following the departure of forward Rocco Vata earlier this summer.
Kelly has agreed a pre-contract to join Millwall in January when his contract at Celtic expires at the end
of December.
The 18-year-old turned down offers from Premier League clubs, German sides and also MLS sides to make the move to South London.
Before joining Millwall, Kelly had been offered a new contract under Brendan Rodgers, but he turned down the deal after seeking assurances over his role at the club which were not given.
