West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Celtic forward Daniel Cummings, with the Scottish club determined to hold onto the talented teenager. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared the latest update on his social media account.
The young striker could be set to leave Celtic, as manager Brendan Rodgers hesitates to integrate him into the Glasgow club’s first team. Despite being highly skilled, reports suggest Cummings lacks the pace Rodgers deems necessary to make the jump from the Academy to senior level.
Cummings, a boyhood Celtic fan, remains a hugely promising prospect. However, he has yet to sign a new deal, and The Bhoys may decide to cash in. Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United are reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a stunning season, scoring 24 goals in 24 matches for Celtic’s B team.
With his contract set to expire in the summer of 2025, Celtic are pushing to secure an agreement on fresh terms.
According to Romano, both West Ham and Brighton are showing strong interest in the striker:
“West Ham and Brighton are both keen on signing 18-year-old Celtic striker Daniel Cummings, with Celtic pushing for him to stay and sign a new deal.
24 goals in 24 games this season for Cummings, out of contract in summer 2025.”
