Celtic star 'spotted at West Ham' as Hoops close in on six figure payout for departing man
The departing Celtic star appeared to watch West Ham as they lost to Nottingham Forrest over the weekend Daniel Cummings was spotted at West Ham's clash with Nottingham Forrest at the weekend as he gets set to leave Celtic for the English Premier League. The striker made his top-team debut for the Hoops in the Champions League this season after running riot for the B-team in the Lowland League and UEFA Youth League. He has 29 goals in 36 appearances for the B side but, other than an 11-minute cameo against Aston Villa and the occasional appearance in the squad, he hasn't been utilised by Brendan Rodgers. That may be down to the fact he is out of contract and all season has looked increasingly set to leave the club with West Ham closing in. And now eagle-eyed fans appear to have spotted him taking in their 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend. We understand Celtic will bank around £300,000 once the move is sealed with the 19-year-old set to join the Irons despite rival interest from Brighton.
