Brighton are keeping close tabs on Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley, sources have told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier League club have been hugely impressed by the 22-year-old, who has made a big impact since joining the Hoops from MK Dons in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that Brighton are among a number of Premier League clubs closely watching O’Riley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighton’s scouts have regularly watched the Fulham academy product as they assess potential midfield options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celtic regard O’Riley<\/a> as one of their prize assets and have him tied down to a contract until 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a prolific scorer from midfield and delivered a Champions League midweek masterclass against Atletico Madrid in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Denmark youth international has made 13 appearances so far this season with six goals and four assists in those outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has not gone unnoticed by recruitment experts that two of those assists have come in the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Riley made his mark at Fulham’s youth academy before being released by the senior team in 2020 and was then without a club before being signed by MK Dons in January 2021. He joined Celtic a year later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midfielder has become a fan favourite at Parkhead and has taken his game to a new level this season under Brendan Rodgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premier League side Brighton were eyeing up midfield teammate Reo Hatate in the summer and sent scouts to watch the Japan international through last season<\/a>, as revealed by Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately Hatate remained in Glasgow and even put pen to paper on a contract extension at Parkhead ahead of possible January and summer 2024 interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
