Celtic have been linked with a move for Harry Wilson.

The Liverpool winger impressed on loan at Hull City last season and would be viewed as a replacement for Patrick Roberts who spent two and a half seasons on loan at Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers’ squad appears to be well stocked with wingers with the hoops boss working with James Forrest, Scott Sinclair, Jonny Hayes, Lewis Morgan and Mikey Johnston at the club’s pre-season base in Austria.

Twenty-one-year-old Wilson wouldn’t be coming to Celtic to spend time on the bench which would place a question mark over James Forrest.

Last season was his best ever at the club but so far there has been little discussion about a new contract for the player who turns 27 next week.

Forrest has never made a drama out of contract talks but the arrival of another winger could put his Celtic future in doubt.

Last season Forrest scored 17 times from 49 starting appearances.
