Celtic are set to offer Daniel Cummings a new contract.
However, the teenage striker has multiple options from England and across Europe to consider, too.
Cummings made his senior debut for the Parkhead side last night, coming on for the closing stages of a 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League.
He has been in fine fettle for Celtic's B side this season, netting 25 goals across 26 games in all competitions.

The striker was resultantly rewarded with a senior bow in Birmingham, although his current contract in Glasgow's east end is due to expire at the end of the season.
The Celtic Way understands that Cummings is set to be offered a new deal, with the Scottish Premiership champions keen to tie him down long-term.
The 18-year-old has options from England and across Europe, however, as interest in his services mounts. He is currently free to talk to other clubs.
Celtic lost youngsters Daniel Kelly and Rocco Vata to the English Championship last summer when their respective deals at Parkhead expired, although the club are looking to tie down the free-scoring Cummings, with a contract set to be offered to the striker imminently.
Manager Brendan Rodgers said academy players need to show that they're good enough when asked about Cummings a few months ago: "There's so much involved in giving a young player the opportunity to play," he said.
"It’s not just about scoring goals or performing, it’s your mentality, it’s your professionalism, it’s all these things alongside ability that is what gets you the opportunity, so that’s always something I’ll assess.
"In terms of Daniel’s output, his goals in his games, he’s done very well. But there are a lot of factors I consider when bringing in a young player.
"Ability is the first thing I look at, but your attitude and application are just as important.
"Young players will always get a chance here and there’s always a number of factors why they can or can’t get a chance, but the first one is normally ability.
"If they’re good enough, they’ll get a chance."
