Rocco Vata Celtic transfer hots up as another Serie A side joins chase and Premier League outfit to renew interest

Frosinone are the latest Italian side to join the chase as interest in Rocco Vata really heats up.

The Celtic youngster is out of contract in the summer. The Hoops have still to open talks with the 18-year-old and he could leave in the summer for just £350,000 in training compensation. The Republic of Ireland under-21 cap is already on the radar of Italian rivals Torino. The Irish youth market is one that the Italians clubs have gone down strongly.

Frosinone had Vata watched when he was away with Ireland under-19s in Albania earlier this month and they were impressed. Nottingham Forest also had an offer for Vata turned down in the summer window and are likely to renew their interest come the summer. A number of clubs also watched the teenager net for Celtic last week in their Premier League International Cup defeat to Brighton.
