Fleetwood Town teenager Josh Feeney has recently attracted plenty of interest from Premier League clubs.

According to Daily Mail, Leicester City, Leeds United and Aston Villa have all contacted the League One club regarding the talented defender.

Scottish giants Celtic are thought to be keeping tabs on the 16-year-old who has already made his mark in Fleetwood’s first team.

He has also been called up for international camps by England and Scotland at under 16 level.

SL View: An impressive future prospect

Feeney is rated highly by the League One club and has a big future ahead of him.

His suitors will be hoping to snap him up this summer for a reasonable price and nurture him into a first-team star over the next few seasons.

The report from Daily Mail adds that Celtic could have an advantage in the transfer chase because the cross border compensation fees are significantly lower for youngsters.

However, the Premier League clubs have the financial resources to pay a higher price, and the chance to move to the top flight may be more tempting for the youngster.

All four clubs have an impressive track record of developing young players and could help Feeney achieve his potential.
