Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic are reportedly keeping a close eye on a South African rising star Luke Baartman.
The teenager has been making waves in the Premier Soccer League with his impressive performances for Cape Town Spurs.
The 17-year-old striker has caught the attention of several European clubs, including Premier League sides, with his goal-scoring exploits and raw talent.
Baartman made his DStv Premiership debut against Orlando Pirates in October and quickly announced his arrival on the big stage with a well-taken goal a fortnight later against Kaizer Chiefs. His performances have earned him a reputation as one of the most promising young prospects in South African football.
Celtic’s interest in Baartman is not surprising, given their track record of identifying and developing young talent from around the world.

REMEMBER THE NAME – LUKE BAARTMAN
While Celtic may not see Baartman as an immediate starter, they recognize his long-term potential and are confident in his ability to contribute to the team’s success in the future.
The club could also benefit from involvement in the South African football market, just as they have gained from signing players from Japan and South Korea.
South African news outlet IOL has urged fans to “remember the name” of Luke Baartman, and it appears that Celtic are taking heed of that advice.
With his undeniable talent and immense potential, Celtic could make a shrewd acquisition by securing the young striker’s signature in the upcoming January transfer window.
