Millwall agree £400,000 fee to sign midfield prodigy from Scottish champions Celtic in current window

MILLWALL are set to sign Celtic midfielder Daniel Kelly in this transfer window.

The Lions had an agreement to sign eighteen-year-old Kelly after the expiry of his contract on December 31 but that wasn’t ideal for any of the parties involved.

It would have left Kelly playing for Celtic B in the Lowland League, the Scottish Premiership side without a transfer fee and the Lions without a player they see as potentially making a first-team impact.

The clubs have now agreed a fee, which the Daily Record report to be around £400,000.

Kelly will undergo a medical in London early this week.

Kelly made his senior debut for Brendan Rodgers’ side last season, scoring one goal – on his league debut – in six appearances.

East Kilbride’s Kelly is a left-footed box-to-box midfielder.
