Brighton has taken the lead in the pursuit of Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley, surpassing Chelsea in the transfer race. According to Sky Sports, the Seagulls have submitted a formal offer to Celtic, making them the frontrunners to secure O’Riley’s signature.
While the exact details of the offer remain undisclosed, it’s reported that both clubs will engage in further discussions over the coming days.
Celtic is seeking a transfer fee in the range of £30 million for the talented midfielder.
