Celtic 'interested' in MLS talent who is being chased by European giants

Celtic are reportedly interested in New England Revolution’s young midfielder Allan Oyirwoth.

The 18-year-old has made five senior appearances for the MLS side since making the move from his native Uganda at the beginning of the year.

Oyirwoth has particularly impressed for Revolution’s second team in 2025.

Celtic, along with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, are interested in the player, claims The Blazing Musket.

Oyirwoth almost signed for Cadiz in Spain before moving to the United States.

He made his senior Uganda debut at just 16 years of age and has already racked up four caps for his country, who are set to compete in the African Cup of Nations this winter.

Celtic already have a host of African players in their ranks, including Michel-Ange Balikwisha, who recently switched allegiances to DR Congo, as well as Tunisia's Sebastian Tounekti and Nigeria veteran Kelechi Iheanacho.

The latter scored in the Bhoys' 1-1 draw with Crvena zvezda in their Europa League opener on Wednesday evening.

Iheanacho has registered three goal contributions in as many outings for Celtic since joining the club on a free transfer three weeks ago.
