Brenden Aaronson transfer latest as Celtic target reveals future focus amid Bundesliga interest

Brenden Aaronson has insisted he is totally focused on life in the MLS despite speculation linking him with a move to Celtic.

The Philadelphia Union forward is being scouted by a number of teams in Europe after exploding onto the American soccer scene.

He's already been likened to Bayer Leverkusen superstar Kai Havertz and could be the next young American to move to European football.

But he's stressed that he's only concentrating on making an impact with his club this season.

Aaronson said: "I think I’ve been doing well and helping the team out a lot but I really want to score a goal and I really want to keep getting assists and I'm just helping the team as best I can.

"Going into this season I just wanted to keep focusing on that and just keep staying consistent.

"I think that’s a huge thing for young players, staying consistent, so I’m just going to keep focusing on that and keep trying to generate chances and just do whatever I can.”

Hoffenheim, SC Freiburg, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach have all been linked with him, with Celtic boss Neil Lennon also closely tracking his progress.
