In a surprise move, Celtic attacker Daniel Kelly is set to join Millwall after the Championship club agreed to bring forward his transfer from January to now. According to sources, Kelly will undergo a medical in London today before signing a three-year deal with the Lions.
The 18-year-old had initially signed a pre-contract agreement with Millwall, which would have seen him join the club in January. However, after negotiations, Kelly is now free to join Millwall immediately, and the deal is expected to be completed soon.
Kelly’s decision to leave Celtic comes after he was frozen out of Brendan Rodgers’ first-team squad and was playing in the Lowland League for the B team. Despite his young age, Kelly has already shown his potential, scoring two goals and providing one assist in five appearances this season.
The midfielder’s versatility will be a valuable asset to Millwall, as he can play both defensively and in a more attacking midfield role. Neil Harris, Millwall’s manager, has convinced Kelly to join the club, and the teenager will now have the opportunity to kick on and develop his career in the Championship.
Celtic, on the other hand, will be disappointed to lose Kelly, but they have managed to keep hold of another midfielder, Matt O’Riley, despite heavy interest from across Europe. However, Football Insider revealed that the Scottish giants are braced for more bids before the transfer window closes.
Kelly’s departure will be seen as a blow to Celtic’s youth development system, but the club will be pleased to have secured a transfer fee for the youngster. The exact details of the deal have not been disclosed, but it is understood that Millwall will pay a significant sum for Kelly’s services.
The transfer is a testament to Harris’ ability to attract young talent to Millwall, and Kelly will be eager to prove himself in the Championship. With the deal expected to be completed soon, Kelly will be available for Millwall’s next match and will be looking to make an immediate impact.
