# Celtic: Report makes exciting Christopher Scott claim

**According to a report from [GhanaWeb](https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Scottish-giants-Celtic-pushing-to-sign-Ghanaian-midfielder-Christopher-Scott-from-Bayern-Munich-1515266), Celtic are closing in on the signing of Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Christopher Scott.**

### The lowdown: Scott interest

The 19-year-old has been [heavily linked](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/christopher-scott-celtic-transfer-fee-26590550) with a move to the Glasgow giants in recent months and it would appear that interest is only going to grow stronger in the coming weeks.

Previously a rising star at Bayer Leverkusen, Scott [made the switch](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/transfers/spieler/503162) to Bundesliga powerhouses Bayern Munich in 2020, where he has featured just [twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503162) for their first-team.

Now as the German youngster’s contract heads towards a July expiry ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/profil/spieler/503162)), Celtic could be set to swoop…

### The latest: Fresh update emerges

As per [GhanaWeb](https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/SportsArchive/Scottish-giants-Celtic-pushing-to-sign-Ghanaian-midfielder-Christopher-Scott-from-Bayern-Munich-1515266), the Hoops are believed to be ‘pushing to sign’ Scott, who has even been [compared](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/christopher-scott-who-is-bayern-munich-s-latest-teenage-attacker-hansi-flick-15439) to Chelsea star Kai Havertz by the Bundesliga’s official website.

The report states that Celtic are hoping to ‘strike’ a £250,000 deal to bring the [18 time-capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/nationalmannschaft/spieler/503162/verein_id/5709) Germany youth international to Parkhead at the end of the season.

Bayern are apparently willing to let the player leave, who has the option to pursue international football for either Germany or Ghana.

### The verdict: Back the boss

Having already blessed the Hoops’ squad with an array of [high-quality players](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-celtic-spent-transfer-fees-26072614) since arriving, supporters can be excited by the prospect of any player coming to Lennoxtown to work with Ange Postecoglou.

So far this season Scott – who was described as [‘quick, strong and an excellent dribbler’](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/christopher-scott-who-is-bayern-munich-s-latest-teenage-attacker-hansi-flick-15439) by ex-boss Hansi Flick – has scored [six times and registered four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) in 14 appearances in the German fourth tier for Bayern’s second string.

Predominantly a central attacking midfielder, the talented teenager can also operate from [wide and deeper positions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) and would therefore add exciting versatility to the Celtic squad.
