# Celtic could be set for transfer heartache as Premier League giants swarm in

**There hasn’t been much to complain about for the Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern this season, having watched their side entirely dominate the Scottish Premiership this season.**

Brendan Rodgers’ capture of Moussa Dembele will surely go down in the Bhoys’ history as one of their greatest signings, though it has done little but whet the punters’ appetite as they yearn for more hidden gems.

Having been [linked](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/643254/henry-onyekuru-coy-on-celtic-move-after-confirming-hes-set-to-quit-eupen-this-summer/) with a move for Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru over the course of the January window, the Hoops in the bar were hoping the Nigerian could have a similar effect to the aforementioned Frenchman.

Still, reports from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) have caused concern on that front. They claim both Chelsea and Arsenal are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old, who could [reportedly](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) command a fee of around [£6m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) this summer.

It’s [thought](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) an offer of [£1m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) was snubbed from the Glasgow giants earlier this year, having impressed several scouts thanks to his exploits in the Belgian league. While Celtic are undoubtedly on the up, the fact two PL giants are [said](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4265714/Arsenal-Chelsea-eye-Nigerian-starlet-Onyekuru.html) to be keen could muddy the waters somewhat.

**How good is Onyekuru? Let us know below…**
