# Celtic: Kwadwo Baah emerges as Hoops target

**Celtic are interested in signing Rochdale teenage sensation Kwadwo Baah following his breakthrough campaign in the Football League.**

That’s according to an exclusive report from [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1658840-celtic-transfer-exclusive-rochdales-kwadwo-baah-a-target), who claim that the Hoops, along with rivals Rangers and Premier League side West Ham, are eager to discuss a move with the 18-year-old.

### Recent Juventus and Bayern Munich interest

Baah, who has [played all across the front line this season in League One](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kwadwo-baah/leistungsdaten/spieler/711247), is [out of contract at the end of the season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kwadwo-baah/profil/spieler/711247). The teenager has netted [three goals this season, also providing two assists in 11 league starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kwadwo-baah/leistungsdaten/spieler/711247).

Italian giants Juventus and Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich were thought to be [interested](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kwado-baah-wanted-rangers-steven-19719374) in the youngster at the end of 2020, but a January move abroad failed to materialise and Celtic may now reap the benefits of that.

### Transfer Tavern take

Baah appears to fit Celtic’s new transfer strategy like an absolute glove. The Hoops are [reportedly (The Athletic)](https://theathletic.co.uk/2320038/2021/01/25/how-celtic-could-remodel-their-transfer-policy-post-brexit/) looking at UK-based prospects with high upside potential who are available either on a pre-contract, or for a nominal fee.

The versatile Rochdale ace seems to tick all those boxes, and with the high-profile sides recently interested in the player, a deal could prove to be a shrewd piece of business in the long run.

[Reports](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/karamoko-dembele-set-celtic-exit-23387341) have suggested current Hoops ace Karamoko Dembele will leave Parkhead in the summer, so Baah could well fill Dembele’s boots as the next youngster to break into the first-team.
