CELTIC kid Bosun Lawal is attracting huge interest from English Championship and League One clubs eyeing a loan for next season.
The Irish 20-year-old has excelled for Fleetwood Town in a new midfield position this season.

Lawal is likely to return to Lennoxtown for pre-season training and hopes to get the chance to impress the Hoops boss.
But the Republic of Ireland Under-21 cap could have his pick of clubs if he heads out for more experience and game time.
Meanwhile, Rodgers is convinced Celtic’s mentality won’t just see them keep the title and Scottish Cup — they’ll do it in style.
The Hoops are three points clear of Treble-chasing Rangers approaching the final five Premiership matches — and they’ll also face their rivals in the Scottish Cup final on May 25.
The Parkhead boss recently stated it’s at this stage of a season that “Celtic come alive”.
And he wasn’t backing down from that yesterday as the first of the post-split character-testers loomed large.
He said: “That’s the expectation. We’re not here on holiday.
“We’re here to win, and we’re here to win in the best fashion that we possibly can.
“That’s always been my mantra. It’s not just about winning, you have to win in the best way possible.
“We sense that and we feel that as a club and that’s the excitement around it — that everything’s in our hands to achieve what it is we want to achieve.
“That’s what we’re focusing on — but we’re looking no further forward than Dundee.
That’s a big game for us, like every one of them will be in these six remaining games now, both in the league and in the final.
“I’m really excited by this whole challenge of finishing the season with a success. But it’s each game at a time, keeping the focus on Dundee and not looking anywhere else other than where we can exploit them and use our strengths to win the game.”
Rodgers has respect for Tony Docherty’s Dark Blues and he paid tribute to their success in making the top six in their first season back in the top flight.
Celtic won 3-0 at the Scot Foam Stadium on Boxing Day while at Parkhead they eased to 3-0 and 7-1 victories.
But Rodgers added: “We’ve played very well against Dundee this season.
“For Tony and his staff and the brilliant job that they’ve done, though, they’ve shown as a collective the importance of playing as team, working hard for each other and where it can take you.
“There will be other teams that people may feel are better squads than Dundee.
“But the job Tony’s done there in his first season up in the Premiership has been absolutely brilliant.
“So we go there and there’s no level of complacency, only respect for a team that’s done very well.
“And we have to be at the top of our game to get the result because of that.
“There are five games to go in the league, with the next one being absolutely vital, so we’ll prepare and take the team through the week, layer in the preparation and come out ready to fire on Sunday.”
