Report: Celtic Scout Copa America Front Man
Celtic are reportedly keeping tabs on Costa Rican wonder-kid Andy Rojas. [SunSport] The 18-year-old forward, who plays for Herediano, has caught the attention of several European clubs after a stellar season. His impressive performances earned him a call-up to Costa Rica’s Copa America squad, where he made History.
Rojas entered the record books with a late substitute appearance in Costa Rica’s 3-0 defeat to Colombia, becoming the youngest player ever to represent his country at the Copa America. This milestone adds to his growing reputation as a versatile forward, capable of playing across the front line.
Sources from Costa Rica suggest that Celtic are among a host of European clubs, including teams from Italy and Holland, monitoring the young talent.
While signing young players with huge potential should be high up the list of things Celtic should be doing. Celtic fans want to see the club finally break free from their transfer comfort zone and put cold hard cash down for players who are ready now. If talented youth players are sprinkled in, great.
Herediano vice-president Aquil Ali commented on the growing interest in Rojas: “We’ve had conversations with people in Europe, and I believe we’ll soon have something more concrete.” His statement hints at potential developments in Rojas’ career, possibly leading to a significant move this summer.
Celtic’s scouting team will need to act swiftly if they wish to secure the highly-rated forward.
