DENMARK under-21 head coach Jesper Sorensen believes it is only a matter of time before Matt O’Riley makes a move to the English Premier League amid interest from Newcastle United.
The Celtic midfielder was scouted by Newcastle as he scored against Croatia for the Danish under-21 side during the week, and Sorensen says that anyone watching the match couldn’t fail to be impressed by the contribution of O’Riley.
And while he stressed that Celtic is a wonderful environment for O’Riley to continue improving his game, his performance for Ange Postecoglou’s side against Real Madrid proved that he can already cut it at the very top level, and that his rapid rise over the past year will eventually lead him back south of the border.
