English Premier League side Brentford have reportedly joined the race to sign Cathal O'Sullivan.
The Irish Independent claims that the London-based club wants to acquire the services of the winger, and cites Celtic as also holding an interest.
The 18-year-old plies his trade for Cork City and has provided four assists in 18 appearances for the club in the Irish top flight in 2025.

It was previously reported that O'Sullivan was set to head to Crystal Palace, although that won't be the case, according to The Irish Independent, who say that there is a 'strong possibility' the teenager will wait until the conclusion of the Irish season to move on from Cork, which subsequently falls in tandem with the end of his contract.
O'Sullivan could therefore come up against Celtic next Tuesday when Brendan Rodgers' side travel to Cork for their second pre-season friendly.
The Scottish Premiership champions begin their preparations for the new campaign with a game against Queen's Park on Friday night: "When you're a big club, they're never friendlies," said Rodgers ahead of Celtic's pre-season match-ups [CelticTV].
"But certainly they give us a great time to prepare when we have some of these really good games.
"But then you add into that the qualification for Champions League, then of course that means that you're trying to get to the end point that little bit quicker because it's something that's very, very important to us. So, yeah, we take that last qualification leg when it comes, and hopefully we'll be in a really good place by that time."
