Celtic Still Keen to Sign Chelsea Youngster On Loan

Celtic Keen for Emenalo Loan

Celtic are still pushing to sign highly rated Chelsea academy star Landon Emenalo on loan, as the Hoops try to bolster their squad before deadline day closes.

The left back was at Celtic's Lennoxtown training centre last month and looked sure to join the club earlier in the window but after picking a knock at Stamford Bridge the move was shortly halted.

Both parties still remain keen to conclude the deal before the window closes, with the player seeking his first taste of first-team football.

The move would be a straight loan as Celtic aim to sure up the left side of their defence.

Celtic will have to contend with Europa league after a shock loss to Austrian team LASK last week, and with a big injury record, fan-favourite Kieran Tierney won't be able to play every game.

The 18-year-old made 37 appearances for Chelsea's under 21 team, receiving five assists.

The Hoops are set to face Aberdeen tomorrow night, which could see Emenalo make his first team debut at Parkhead.
