Sport nationCeltic Should ‘Definitely’ Consider Signing Premiership Star Lennon Miller, Insists Michael Stewart
Celtic has been urged to explore domestic talent, and Lennon Miller, Motherwell’s 18-year-old midfielder, is catching the eye. Miller’s impressive form has earned him the Premiership Player of the Month award for September, sparking discussions about his potential transfer value.
The Rise of Lennon Miller
Miller has scored four goals and assisted three more in 13 appearances this term, propelling Motherwell into a top-four position. His performances have impressed pundits, including Go Radio’s Jamie Murphy, who believes Celtic should consider signing him.
“He’s been terrific,” Murphy said. “To come in the way he has, settle into the team, and almost be the main man at that age is really, really difficult to do. I expect him to move on sooner rather than later.”
Murphy’s Verdict
Murphy emphasized the importance of prioritizing domestic talent, suggesting both Celtic and Rangers should be interested in Miller.
“Look at the best players in Scotland first and foremost before you go to a foreign player,” he advised. “You want to have those players you can develop and play over time. Both teams should definitely be looking at Lennon Miller.”
Michael Stewart’s Prediction
Pundit Michael Stewart predicts Miller’s transfer value will soar, potentially exceeding the £3.25m Celtic paid for David Turnbull.
“Lennon Miller is a quality player,” Stewart said. “At Motherwell, there is a ceiling price in terms of what would be paid. In a couple of years’ time, say he was playing in a different country or a different league, that value is going to be through the roof, I would imagine. Between £3m to £5m for him.”
Miller’s Family Perspective
Lennon Miller’s father, former Aberdeen star Lee Miller, revealed his son’s ambition to play at the highest level.
“He’s not interested in going anywhere else right now,” Miller senior said. “He wants to rack up as many games as possible. He’s got ambition, he’s got massive ambition, he wants to be a Scottish international, play at the highest level.”
The Future for Lennon Miller
As the hype surrounding Miller grows, Celtic’s interest will likely intensify. With the Bhoys well-stocked in midfield, any potential move may be contingent on future developments.
“Celtic have the resources and the scouts to ensure good-value gems do not leave the country only to pay off for others down the line,” said Celtic blogger, Celtic News Now.
Celtic’s Domestic Transfer Record
Celtic’s recent domestic transfers include:
