Leeds United face fight for Celtic talent as Tottenham and Man City enter the transfer fray

Leeds United are facing real competition from Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur to the transfer of hot Celtic prospect Rory Mahady.

The Scotland under-17 cap is wanted by the English Premier League trio, while Celtic are also keen to keep the youngster.

However, they face a major fight to keep a hold of him.

Leeds United have been long-term admirers of the talent, who is rated as one of the best young keepers in Britain, but now Spurs and City have come into the equation.

Mahady is set to turn 16 later this year and that is when he can sign his first professional contract.

The teenager has come through the Celtic academy and they would be entitled to compensation if he was to move south.

Celtic lost exciting winger Ben Doak to Liverpool earlier in the season and others recently including Liam Morrison to Bayern Munich.
