The Hoops face the prospect of another talent leaving to move south of the border\"DaraDara Jikiemi<\/p>\n

Liverpool have promising Celtic<\/a> youngster Dara Jikiemi high on their summer radar. The Scotland youth captain has impressed the English champions.<\/p>\n

Anfield academy chiefs are pushing to do a deal for Jikiemi. Scouts have watched him in action in his age group for club and country and the teenager has caught the eye.<\/p>\n

Celtic chiefs are already aware of Liverpool<\/a> \u2019s growing interest. The teenager can sign professional forms with Celtic at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

If he was to move south, Celtic would only get training compensation for the years that he came through their system. He would also have to sign a scholarship in England before he was able to sign his first professional contract.<\/p>\n

English Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest have also been watching him closely. Jikiemi also offers versatility as he can play as a central defender or a midfielder.<\/p>\n

It is an increasing issue, the number of academy talent that Celtic are losing to clubs down south. Liverpool previously signed Scotland international Ben Gannon-Doak<\/a> from Celtic before they sold him to Bournemouth in the summer.<\/p>\n

Other youngsters like Conall Glancy have gone to Tottenham Hotspur, while Daniel Cummings moved to West Ham United.<\/a> Aidan Borland previously moved to Aston Villa and Rory Mahady to Leeds United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hoops face the prospect of another talent leaving to move south of the borderDara Jikiemi Liverpool have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[71705,74256,3339,1711,2732,40481,403,99,74257],"class_list":["post-317454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-celtic-fc","tag-celtic-transfer-news","tag-english-premier-league","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-nottingham-forest","tag-scottish-premiership","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-transfer-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
