Transfer News - Chelsea close to signing Celtic star ORiley

Chelsea have joined the race for Celtic midfielder Matt ORiley, according to The Sun.

Blues manager Enzo Maresca reportedly sees the 23-year-old ORiley as the perfect replacement for Conor Gallagher, who has rejected a new contract and is contemplating a move to Atletico Madrid.

Celtic have already snubbed a bid from Southampton believed to be around £14 million for ORiley, with £20m believed to be the fee likely to get the Scottish giants to agree to a deal.

Atalanta are also interested in the Denmark international.
