Celtic's Liel Abada lands UEFA recognition in prestigious 'watchlist' once featuring Erling Haaland

Liel Abada has been named as part of a prestigious list of 40 rising talents tipped to take European football by storm in 2023.

UEFA has compiled a record of the best around with it's network of reporters, correspondents and editors from across the continent working hard to produce the final 'watchlist'. All players featured must be 21 or under at the start of the year and with some major names previously making the cut over the years including Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Mykhailo Mudryk.

It's huge recognition for the Celtic man as he continues to impress for Ange Postecoglou's side since his arrival in Scottish football. He has already registered nine goals and four assists in all competitions this season and has experienced playing at the very top level in club football with five Champions League group stage appearances against the likes of Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig.
