Cape Town Spurs starlet Luke Baartman has reportedly attracted the interest of Scottish giants Celtic, according to reports.

The 17-year-old was promoted to their first team after his impressive performance for the club’s development team.

The young forward made his first team debut for Spurs in their Carling Cup defeat to Orlando Pirates.

Baartman also had a brilliant cameo against Kaizer Chiefs after scoring his first DStv Premiership goal in their 3-2 defeat.

According to the Scottish Sun, Scottish giants Celtic are currently monitoring Baartman’s situation while they also confirmed that the 17-year-old is attracting interest from Premier League outfit Leeds United.

“Celtic’s recruitment team have been following his progress and have had representatives at matches,” the report read.

“Celts aren’t thought to view the Cape Town-born youngster as an immediate first-team player for boss Brendan Rodgers.

“But they recognise his big potential while there could also be spin-offs from involvement in the South Africa football market, just as they have benefited through signing the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu from Japan and South Korea.”
