Ewan Otoo is attracting interest from the English Premier League ahead of the January transfer window opening, according to a report.
The 20-year-old - who has been starring for the Celtic B side - has impressed in the Lowland League this season and has the likes of Aston Villa, Fulham and Burnley keeping tabs on him according to the Daily Mail. He started his career at the Hoops from the age of eight and has progressed through the ranks. He penned a first pro deal at the club in 2019.
During the 2020/21 season, he spent time out on loan at Scottish League One outfit Clyde and earned rave reviews for his performances from then boss Danny Lennon. The Hoops reserves currently sit fourth in the Lowland League standings. They sit six points behind rivals and league leaders Rangers B after 19 games.

Tranent Juniors and East Kilbride also above the Hoops but both have played more games and can be overtaken should the youngsters win their games in hand.
Bosun Lawal is also attracting transfer interest with Brentford and two clubs from Italy reported to be keen on his services. The 19 year-old, who can play at centre back or in central midfield, made the bench for Saturday's 1-0 win at Aberdeen. Ange Postecoglou's included him in the travelling party for their winter training camps in Australia and Portugal and now he is making a mark domestically by landing a place in the matchday squad.
Speaking about Lawal and fellow youngster Rocco Vatta previously, the Hoops boss said: “They’ve been in and around the first-team pretty much this year. I think the more exposure we give them, I think every time we see them, they’re edging a little bit closer which is the important thing.
“They’re taking the experience they have with us. Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea are doing a great job for the B team, preparing these guys for the next step.
“It’s up to the boys themselves. Every time they get an opportunity they show they continue to develop, we saw that with both of those guys. We’ll take them both to Portugal as well. That’ll give them some more exposure to first-team football.”
