Celtic keen on Espanyol winger Juanan Entrena
CELTIC have been linked with a move for Spanish starlet Juanan Entrena, according to reports in the Spanish media.
Diario AS is reporting that the winger’s performances this season for Espanyol’s Under-18 outfit have caught the eye of Celtic scout David Moss.
Entrena scored the goal that handed the ‘Juvenil A’ the Division de Honor Group 3 title as they defeated Jabac Terrassa last month.
A pacy winger who can play on either flank, Entrena impressed Moss to the extent that the Hoops scout made enquiries as to his availability.
However, Entrena has a year left on his current contract as well as a further two-year option, and is expected to make the step up to the B team with the Periquitos.
The 18-year-old was with Barcelona prior to making the short trip to join Espanyol, and was a team-mate of Partick Thistle Under-20 midfielder Simon Colina.
He also had spells at Granada and Sevilla’s youth academies.
