No Celtic Deal for "Ghana Messi"

CELTIC have ended their interest in winger Frank Acheampong, dubbed ‘the Ghanaian Lionel Messi’.

The 19-year-old Acheampong was on trial at Celtic, but Neil Lennon admitted that the club would not be taking their interest in the African any further.

“Whether we can do something, we don’t know, but Frank we’ll not be pursuing.”

Agudelo, capped 16 times by the USA national side, currently plays for Chivas USA in Major League Soccer, where the season has ended.

Lennon had said previously that he hoped to sign Agudelo, but has not had the time to discuss the matter with scout John Park and chief executive Peter Lawwell.

“When he (Agudelo) left, he’s having a bit of a break because the American season finished,” said the Celtic manager.

“But we would look to pursue him again. So I don’t know where we are in terms of enquiries.”

Frank Acheampong has since returned to his current club, Thailand’s Buriram United.
