Justin Osagie has been named in the Republic of Ireland U19s squad - with his club listed as Celtic following recent speculation.
The talented 17-year-old is believed to have signed a three-year deal at Parkhead after photos emerged last month of him standing at the club's home with a green and white jersey on. He was most recently at English Premier League club West Ham United and his move to Celtic has all but bee confirmed by recent photos and this squad announcement.
He follows new Hoops teammates Rocco Vata and Bosun Lawal amongst others in receiving call-ups in the Irish youth system. Head coach Tom Mohan has called in 30 players available to him as part of preparations for U19s qualifiers next month.
