Thierry Henry praise for Celtic trialist Agudelo (video)
Agudelo was a team-mate of Henry at New York Red Bull before switching to Chivas USA of Los Angeles in the summer.
The 19-year-old was born in Colombia but has already played 16 times for the USA and is keen to win a move to Europe to develop his game.
Henry moved in the opposite direction bit the former Arsenal, Juventus and Barcelona striker is in no doubt about the potential of the Lennoxctown trialist.
The Frenchman said: He had to leave our club because he needed to play regularly to keep his international place but he is a great talent who is going to be a top player soon.”
Agudelo flew into Glasgow following the 2-2 draw between Russia and the USA in midweek and has previously spent time training with Liverpool.
It’s unlikely that the teenage striker will have much time to impress Neil Lennon with the hoops squad travelling to Aberdeen and Lisbon within the space of five days.
Celtic’s current Champions League campaign and the platform that it has provided for Victor Wanyama and Fraser Forster will have alerted players asnd agents about the game.
Lennoxtown plays host to a regular supply of players looking to earn a contract but very few are offered terms with Rabui Ibrahim the most recent exception.
Ibrahim joined on a free from PSV Eindhoven almost a year ago but has only made a couple of substitute appearances so far for the first team.
