Premier League clubs line up for Celtic star amid AC Milan interest

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels is attracting interest across Europe after an impressive season in Glasgow. The 22-year-old Belgian played a pivotal role as Celtic secured a domestic double, putting him on the radar of clubs in the Premier League and Serie A. Engels recently switched his representation to the DWMA agency, a move viewed as a clear signal of intent as he considers his next step.

Transfer reporter Sacha Tavolieri says AC Milan have made their interest known to Engels' new representatives, though no formal bid has been submitted; several Premier League clubs are also monitoring him. Nottingham Forest were admirers last winter, having had up to three offers rejected, including a final approach worth about £25 million.

Celtic hold a strong bargaining position: Engels is under contract until 2028, so the club faces no immediate pressure to sell and would likely demand a significant fee.
