Report: Why striker Mourinho said has qualities & potential has rejected Celtic offer
According to Independent.ie, Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott turned down an offer to sign for Celtic before agreeing to join Millwall on a one-year loan deal. The 18-year-old is temporarily leaving North London in order to further develop himself and play more regularly, and he rejected a move to Parkhead because he believes his development will be best served working under manager Gary Rowett at Millwall. Apart from Celtic, Preston North End, Swansea City, Stoke City and Bournemouth were also keen on the Spurs striker, but they will have to look elsewhere for the striking reinforcement they need. Parrott is highly rated at Tottenham despite playing just six minutes of Premier League football in 2019-20, and the club will be keeping an eye on him at Millwall. “He has qualities...

Report confirms Celtic’s offer for 24-goal attacker who is wanted by their rivals as well
Celtic are keen on signing the Peterborough forward Ivan Toney this summer. Neil Lennon is close to wrapping up the signing of Albian Ajeti on loan and it seems that Toney is another attacking target for him. As per Daily Record, Celtic submitted a £5m bid for the 26-year-old but the offer has been turned down. Apparently, Peterborough value the player higher than that.
