Leeds United scouts were reportedly in attendance at Celtic's Champions League group stage clash with Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday evening. That is according to the Scotsman, who claim it is possible that the Whites were there to watch Shakhtar wonderkid Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park with neither side now able to qualify for the last-16 of the competition. Giorgos Gikoumakis had given Celtic a first half lead, but the Ukrainian side were able to respond as Mudryk netted a stunning equaliser 13 minutes into the second period.
The Scotsman claim that Mudryk 'generally looked a class above everyone else on the pitch' with the Ukrainian international continuing to make waves across Europe with his performances. Mudryk has netted three goals in his five Champions League appearances this season, and has-also netted three times and provided five assists in the Ukrainian Premier League.
