Celtic starlet Rocco Vata has been snapped up by a high-profile football agency.
The 18-year-old talent has been acquired by the worldwide renowned CAA Base.
The Daily Record says he's joined one of the top agencies, which boasts some of the biggest names in football on their books. CAA Base is part of CAA Sports.
Raphael Varane, Kingsley Coman of Bayern Munich, Tottenham trio Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Richarlison, and Carlo Ancelotti are just some of the people they represent.
Vata is incredibly highly-rated within Celtic and there are high hopes he can make it as a first-team regular at Parkhead.
He's a Republic of Ireland youth international and has enjoyed a small taste of first-team football so far in his budding career.
He was 17 when he was handed his debut by Ange Postecoglou last year.
Son of Rudi, Vata Junior has been with the Hoops since he was seven years old.
He has mainly featured in the club's B team, which performed strongly in the Lowland League last term.
The attacker is in the final year of his contract in Glasgow's east end.
Meanwhile, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has issued a transfer update, indicating that the club will look to do more business this summer.
Rodgers was interviewed live on Sky Sports, where he gave an assessment of the business done so far in terms of transfers, as well as what he hopes to do for the remainder of the window.
