# Everton: Fans react to report linking young trio with Celtic move

**Everton fans have reacted to a recent [report](https://theathletic.com/1728998/2020/04/14/celtic-youth-recruitment-development-scotland/?source=user_shared_article&redirected=1) linking youngsters Anthony Gordon, Morgan Feeney and Lewis Gibson with a move to Scottish Premiership side Celtic.**

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/1728998/2020/04/14/celtic-youth-recruitment-development-scotland/?source=user_shared_article&redirected=1), Neil Lennon’s Celtic side have regularly scouted all three players who have featured for the club’s U18 and U23 sides over the last couple of seasons.

19-year-old attacker Gordon joined Everton at the age of 11, and he has since progressed through the various youth ranks, [before making his first team debut for the club against Apollon Limassol back in December 2017.](https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/12/07/europe/uefa-cup/apollon-limassol/everton-football-club/2580366/?ICID=HP_MS_01_08)

Defender Feeney is currently on loan with Tranmere Rovers, having developed through the club’s youth ranks, whilst is also enjoying a loan spell with [Fleetwood Town.](https://www.fleetwoodtownfc.com/news/2020/january/lewis-gibson-joins-fleetwood-town/)

Celtic boss Lennon is on the verge of winning another Scottish Premiership title, [sitting top of the league ahead of second placed Rangers.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table)

The Northern Irish coach is seemingly keen to continue the club’s idea of bringing young players in and helping them develop, and a summer move for all three Everton youngsters could now be on the cards.

Reacting to the news via Twitter account @EvertonNewsFeed, fans revealed their desire for the youth trio to remain at the club.

> Let them go out on loan, would be a good move that. Wouldn’t sell either Gordon or Gibson though

> A season loan at Celtic would be great for them if they played regularly. Gibson in particular seems to be ready to break through for some first team action. I think Gordon and feeney just need to bulk up a little. They look slightly lightweight against some opponents

> Realistically will these ever be on the team sheet – No so send them out on loan to develop and grow. We need better fringe players
