Chelsea left-back Emenalo keen on move to Celtic despite offers elsewhere
Chelsea left-back Emenalo has reportedly set his sights on a move to Celtic despite receiving approaches from other interested clubs.
The Scottish Premiership champions are interested in signing the tri-national defender but face competition from elsewhere for his signature.
Celtic are in advanced talks with Chelsea over a loan move for the American-English-Nigerian player.
According to Sky Sports UK, Celtic are discussing a loan deal with Chelsea, with Emenalo keen on joining the Hoops despite attracting interest from other clubs.
Celtic are looking to bring in a player who can provide competition and cover for Kieran Tierney, and have presented the proposed role to Emenalo and his representatives.
The 18-year-old is seeking a temporary move in search of first-team opportunities, which Chelsea are unable to guarantee him next season.
Yet to make his first-team debut, Emenalo has been named in three matchday squads—against Legia Warsaw, Liverpool and Pafos in the Conference League, Premier League and Champions League respectively—but remained an unused substitute on each occasion.
Having signed a new contract in March 2026, Emenalo is tied to Chelsea until June 30, 2031.
