Celtic winger Lewis Morgan agrees lucrative Inter Miami deal as David Beckham lands his man

Scotland international Lewis Morgan has agreed a deal with David Beckham’s Inter Miami

The Major League Soccer new boys have come to terms on a significant six-figure deal with Celtic for the wide man.

And the 23-year-old has been offered a lucrative, long-term contract to star Stateside.

Talks have gone well and Morgan is impressed with Inter Miami’s plans and he will now undergo a visa application.

Morgan has had spells at St Mirren and Sunderland and made it clear that if he was to leave Celtic then it would be on a permanent basis.

Celtic paid around £250,000 to sign Morgan from St Mirren in 2018 but he has found it hard to get a run at Parkhead.

David Beckham was one of the celebrity high-earners who invested in the scheme (PA)

Now he looks set for a new challenge across the pod to join fellow Scottish internationalists Gary Mackay-Steven who is at New York City and Johnny Russell who is at Sporting Kansas City.

Inter have already appointed Diego Alonso as their head coach and he has been charged with building a side with young, up and coming talent from the United States, Europe and South America.

They have also snapped up young South Americans Matias Pellegrini and Julian Carranza.

Inter Miami will make their MLS bow when they travel to Dallas on the 22nd of February.

They then have away Los Angeles and DC United before they open their new Lockhart Stadium against Beckham’s old side LA Galaxy on the 14th March.
