Andy Robertson II as AC Milan linked with summer move for discarded Celtic teenager

In the summer of 2018 Celtic were happy to release Aaron Hickey to Hearts with the insurance policy of a 30% sell on clause for the 16-year-old full back. 

This summer Hickey could become an AC Milan player following two seasons in Serie A with Bologna. 

Sadly, none of Hickey’s former Celtic team-mates have made much progress in their careers. Owen Moffat is probably the best of those Celtic prospects, the winger is six months older than the Bologna defender and making decent progress playing in the Lowland League side. 

SempreMilan reports: 

AC Milan are evaluating the ideal profile deputy to Theo Hernandez as Fode Ballo-Touré is likely to leave this summer, a report claims. 

As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it write, Ballo-Toure has not convinced Milan and that is why Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are already hard at work looking for his replacement. There are already three names on the list: Fabiano Parisi of Empoli, Andrea Cambiaso of Genoa and Aaron Hickey of Bologna. 

These are three young players that would represent a valid alternative to Theo on the left lank. Parisi’s first season in Serie A has seen him show good consistency under Andreazzoli’s orders, while Cambiaso is having a breakout season at Genoa with four assists and a goal in 25 appearances. 

Hickey meanwhile is in his second year in Serie A but is two years younger than the others, and he has already scored 4 goals this season showing himself to be a gamble that paid off for Bologna thus far. 

Since Hickey left Celtic the club has signed Boli Bolingoli, Greg Taylor, Diego Laxalt, Andrew Gutman and Liam Scales to play at left-back with varying levels of success. 

The Andy Robertson story is very well known, it looks like another similar mis-judgement on the watch of Peter Lawwell is taking place.
