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...
Chris Sutton shares what he has been told about Morelos’ potential Rangers exit

The Colombian is keen to move to the French side, and has agreed personal terms after Lille’s Director of Football Luis Campos convinced him about the club’s project. However, both clubs are yet to agree terms, and what will happen going forward remains to be seen as Rangers clearly don’t want to feel short-changed as they look to cash in on their most prized possession.

Midfielder who admits he’d love to sign for Rangers wants them to sell Morelos
Reading midfielder and former Rangers star Charlie Adam has told the Ibrox club to cash in on Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos this summer. French top-flight side Lille have registered interest in the 24-year-old, but their £13.7 million offer has been knocked back with the Light Blues holding out for £20 million. Adam reckons they won’t get near that or even £15 million for their star striker as a result of the financial shortcomings the coronavirus pandemic has put clubs in, urging them to sell if a £12 million bid comes in. “I’d get rid of him. If the money came for him, I’d get rid of him now. I think anything between £8 to £12 million you’ve got to take it,” the midfielder said on BBC 5 Live Sport. “You are not going to get £15 million, you are not going to get £20 million, so a...

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.
