St Mirren F.C. winger Lewis Morgan has been linked to a move away to the Scottish powerhouse, Celtic. The 21 year has widely impressed with his 10 goal tally in 21 games for the Scottish Premiership side.
Standing at 178 cms, the winger uses his agility and balance to get past defenders from the wide areas whenever he can. He possesses great quality in delivering menacing balls into the box paired with an ability to find the back of the net for himself.
Morgan’s contract is set to end in June 2018 as clubs are allowed to approach him for pre-contract agreements in January. St Mirren has officially stated that they have allowed Morgan to hold meetings over his future elsewhere away from the club and are not willing to let him go before the end of the season.
After their relegation from the top tier of Scottish football in 2015, the Buddies are aiming for a promotion this season and are relying heavily on the talents of Morgan.
Lewis Morgan is a product of Scottish club, Rangers F.C. and joined St Mirren on the September of 2013. He has developed well within the ranks of the second division Scottish football and is now ready to take his talents to a bigger club, like Celtic.
The midfielder born out of Greenock has been a target for a lot of clubs even before the season started, but he chose to play out his contract with the Saints before eyeing for a move.
Brendan Rodgers’ side are sitting at the top of the table in the Scottish Premiership, 7 points ahead of rivals, Rangers. After winning the league title 6 years in a row and already heavy favourites to win it again, Rodgers’ side will be looking to make a more significant impact in Europe.
After a 3rd place finish in the Champions League group stage, the Glasgow side have earned themselves a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League. Their dominance in the domestic competitions are overshadowed by their performance in Europe over the last few decades.
Fighting against star-stacked sides like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich might not be the easiest thing but the Celtics faithful will agree that they can improve invariably by signing better talents.
Morgan will be a great addition to the team alongside another youngster, Moussa Dembele who is currently the first choice striker under Rodgers. The pair will combine well in the future with Scott Sinclair on the other end to lead the attacking force for the Celts.
Morgan has also attracted attention from English Championship sides Nottingham Forest and Preston North End.
