# Celtic: African source makes Christopher Scott transfer claim

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) are reportedly on the verge of finalising the signing of Bayern Munich youngster Christopher Scott, according to [GhanaSoccerNet](https://ghanasoccernet.com/exclusive-celtic-closing-in-on-signing-german-born-ghanaian-christopher-scott).**

### The lowdown: Rising star

A product of Bayer Leverkusen’s youth system, the youngster was [snapped up](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/transfers/spieler/503162) by the [Bundesliga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/bundesliga-news/) champions in 2020 and has since graduated through the academy setup at the Allianz Arena.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder boasts a glowing record across youth and reserve team levels, scoring [44 times and providing 17 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/503162) in 114 appearances.

Despite already making [two senior outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503162/verein/27) for Bayern, it appears as though the Hoops could be set to land the talented teenager…

### The latest: Celtic ‘closing in’ on Scott

As per [GhanaSoccerNet](https://ghanasoccernet.com/exclusive-celtic-closing-in-on-signing-german-born-ghanaian-christopher-scott), Celtic are ‘closing in’ on the capture of Scott as Ange Postecoglou attempts to strengthen the Lennoxtown ranks once again.

It is claimed that the Parkhead hierarchy must meet a £250,000 asking price for compensation in order to seal a deal for the Germany under-20 starlet, who has been [stylistically compared to](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/christopher-scott-who-is-bayern-munich-s-latest-teenage-attacker-hansi-flick-15439) Chelsea star Kai Havertz.

The report added that the Hoops ‘remain favourites’ to sign the prospect described as possessing [‘good speed’](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/christopher-scott-who-is-bayern-munich-s-latest-teenage-attacker-hansi-flick-15439) by Hansi Flick amidst [reported](https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/fc-bayern-transfer-news-christopher-scott-liebaeugelt-mit-abschied/12577060/33896) interest from Brentford.

### The verdict: Exciting times

Having already shown his [outstanding eye for talent](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-celtic-spent-transfer-fees-26072614) in the transfer market, the prospect of Postecoglou potentially bringing in a Germany youth international from Bayern Munich is enough to whet the appetite for what could be to come at Parkhead next season.

During the 2021/22 season, Scott lit up the German fourth tier and displayed a penchant for influencing matches from deep with [seven goals and six assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) in 24 appearances, playing across a plethora of positions to highlight a wide-ranging versatility in the process.

Following the [departure](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10813915/Tom-Rogic-confirms-LEAVE-Celtic-summer-10-year-stint.html) of prolific midfielder Tom Rogic from Parkhead, signing the [£1.08m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/marktwertverlauf/spieler/503162) Scott would be a superb piece of business, especially for the mooted compensation fee.
