Celtic ‘disappointed’ as forward nears Premier League move
Celtic have reportedly been left ‘disappointed’ in the knowledge they have been unable to secure the future of rising star Daniel Cummings beyond this season. The promising Hoops striker had been earmarked for a winter move initially, and while he has since remained in Glasgow, all signs now point to a summer departure.
