Celtic are one of the sides monitoring Exeter City winger Joel Randall, according to a report from The Athletic.

Randall is enjoying a fantastic season with the Grecians. He has scored eight goals and contributed five assists in all competitions this term.

Six of his goals have come in League Two this term. Just two players have scored more for Matt Taylor’s side so far in this campaign.

And it appears that Exeter may face a battle to keep the 21-year-old. According to The Athletic, Celtic are keen, while Swansea City are also keeping an eye on his development.

The report notes that Randall’s contract expires in 2022. So it will be interesting to see how events play out in the coming weeks.

As The Athletic notes, Exeter have uncovered some real gems in recent years. Both Ollie Watkins and Ethan Ampadu are now playing in the Premier League, with Watkins, in particular, looking fantastic at that level.

Celtic look as though they are heading into a crucial period. The Hoops face a major battle to win their 10th league title in a row. And it does appear that many of their supporters have written off their chances.

Should they lose out this year, they may expect to lose some of their key players. And thus, the challenge may be building a fresh squad.

Randall looks to be an incredibly exciting winger with a bright future ahead. So he is certainly someone Celtic need to keep on their radar.
