Arsenal, Man City watching Celtic youngster Rocco Vata

Celtic youngster Rocco Vata is attracting interest from several top clubs in Italy.

The 17-year-old has been impressing with Celtic's B team, netting four goals in 11 games in Lowland League football.

The Republic of Ireland youth international is wanted by Serie A giants AC Milan, Juventus and Roma, per Tuttomercato.

The source adds that Manchester City and Arsenal are also monitoring his progress.

Vata is highly rated, having signed a professional deal at Celtic that takes him to 2024.

The club will be hoping he can continue his progress, rather than demanding an exit before he is even a first-team player.
