Celtic Reports Interest in Peterborough Defender Harley Mills

Celtic is targeting 19-year-old Harley Mills, a left-back from Peterborough United, as a potential deputy for Kieran Tierney, who is returning to the Scottish club from Arsenal. Mills, an Aston Villa academy graduate, has attracted interest from multiple clubs, including Fulham, who reportedly made a £1 million bid that Peterborough rejected. With Greg Taylor out of contract and possibly leaving, and uncertainty surrounding Jeffrey Schlupp's future, Celtic is seeking reinforcements on the left side to bolster their squad depth. Mills has made 28 senior appearances, contributing goals and assists, including a notable goal in the Vertu Trophy Final at Wembley. Despite speculation, no official offer has been made by Celtic, and Peterborough prefers to sell Mills rather than risk losing him on a free transfer when his contract expires next year. Brendan Rodgers aims to strengthen his squad ahead of another title defense, with Mills viewed as a promising prospect who could fill the gap at left-back.
