Celtic’s 18-year-old star Daniel Cummings is catching the attention of several English Premier League clubs. The forward, who has been a key figure for Celtic B in both the Lowland League and the UEFA Youth League this season, is in strong form. Cummings’ contract with Celtic expires at the end of this season, and reports suggest he could leave the club for a transfer fee of €310,000 next summer.
Cummings’ potential departure would add to a growing list of young talents who have left Celtic for opportunities in other top European leagues. Last season, academy products Rocco Vata and Daniel Kelly made moves to clubs in England, while Barry Hepburn and Liam Morrison joined Bayern Munich in previous years. If Cummings follows suit, it would highlight the ongoing challenge Celtic faces in retaining their emerging stars.
Brendan Rodgers now faces a crucial task in convincing Cummings to stay at Parkhead. There has been a longstanding issue with the club’s ability to provide a clear pathway for young players from the B team to the first team. Rodgers needs to leverage this pathway to keep promising talents like Cummings and offer them a chance to gain senior-level experience.
So far, Cummings has been in exceptional form in European competition, scoring twice in both of Celtic B’s UEFA Youth League matches this season. His brace against Slovan Bratislava in a 4-0 win in September set the tone for his impressive performances, and he added another double in Celtic B’s 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig on Tuesday.
With 18 goals in 17 matches, Cummings’ performances are drawing significant interest from Premier League clubs. Rodgers must act quickly to secure the forward’s future at Celtic with a long-term contract.
