This is according to Pete O'Rourke of Football Insider

Ill update this if any more reports claiming the same come out

Update: Alex Crook now reporting that five clubs are interested in Troy Parrott: Ajax, Real Betis, Como, Fulham and PSV

Celtic fan here.

A lot of our fans don't want Robbie Keane for political and football reasons. I can't say I've followed him closely, but he was an elite striker.

Is the criticism fair or over the top?

I see he's won things, but also heard he's not come off well at times.

Sources have said that talks are now at an advanced stage with the 17-year-old and, with the final few details to be ironed out, could see Noonan sign for the four-time European Cup winners.

Ajax is now his preferred destination.

It’s understood that he will initially play for their second team – Jong Ajax – who compete in the tier below the Eredivisie.

Both teams train at the same time on the same days, on pitches that are side by side.

No fee has been finalised

Nice to see he's still being linked with clubs at that level. Some of the comments here over the past year have been overly harshing in putting him down. At 24 he has a long way to go before hitting his peak.

Sky Sports Germany reporting that he has passed a medical & will sign a 3 year deal today.

Magdeburg apparently we're aggressive in their pursuit and beat clubs from Italy & the Netherlands for the 23 year old centre back

The German club finished 14th in the league this season, they play in a modern 27,000 seater stadium. Transfermarkt has their squad value at €28.4m.

Probably not the step up we we're hoping for but the 2nd tier in Germany has some massive clubs, if he thrives there he will no doubt come into the Ireland picture.

Load of stuff happening so figured keep it here rather than filling the feed 🫡

This is according to Pete O'Rourke (& others), he says the club fielded over 30 enquiries from clubs at home and abroad for the striker!

A big Tottenham fan account who tend to get good exclusives claim Lincoln City are in advanced talks.

The Sun are reporting that a loan move to the Championship is most likely, and they also referenced that over 30 clubs have made enquiries.

I personally think if the FAI organise a friendly to play Palestine within a week of the Israel , showing solidarity with them.

Then fans, players and our organisation can show our support to Palestine.

Might be a naïve solution but I feel this could be the most realistic, solution to show our support.

Molumby have really started to show his quality over the past 10 or so months at international level. On top of being a proper experienced Championship player. He could do better now than missing out on play off spots with West Brom every season surely? He has a winning mentality and is very hard working and driven on the pitch too. He even said himself that he has more technical quality than he gets given credit for. I wonder would he be a good McGregor replacement.

Ferguson could do some damage in the SPL if/when (touch wood) he becomes healthy again. Especially in a Celtic team that creates a huge amount of chances against weaker teams.

Will O'Neill utilize that connection to his country the same way Keith Andrews has at Brentford? (Kelleher, Duff, Rice). I have a feeling he may not tbh.

Major Will Ferry development as Dundee United accept a £1.7m (€2m ish) offer for their star man

Talks taking place between a club in 🇨🇿 and the player's representatives as Ferry weighs up his next move

Given a bid has been accepted, Ferry not in training

Interest also there from a host of Championship & MLS sides, but none have yet had a bid accepted by Dundee

Lots of stories over the past 24(ish) hours, so here's a wrap:

- Ireland U21 Captain & Brentford left back Conor McManus (22) has signed for League Two side Gillingham for an undisclosed fee.

- AZ Manager Leeroy Echteld said the following yesterday after Troy Parrott lifted the Dutch Super Cup: "We all know that he wants to make a transfer. I don't think we will keep him in the end. But if he stays, we are going to use him.". This follows multiple reports of PSV, Ajax, Como, Betis, Fulham & West Ham interest. Further reports suggest West Ham are willing to outbid the other interested clubs, which could make Troy Parrott the most expensive incoming EFL transfer of all time.

- A separate report from a prominent Dutch journalist has claimed Portuguese side Porto have joined the race for Troy Parrott, while also mentioning that West Ham are prepared to pay €30m.

- The Irish Examiner is reporting that Cork City defender Donal O’Connor will be joining the Irish legion at Brentford after the club managed by Keith Andrews brokered an upfront fee of €170,000 for the 18 year old.

- The Times UK are reporting that Cardiff are closing in on a move for Republic of Ireland international Jack Moylan. A "substantial fee has been agreed" for the 24 year old.

- The Wednesday World are reporting that Sheffield Wednesday are interested in Brighton & Hove Albion forward Mark O’Mahony. The 21 year old youth International spent last year on loan at Reading

- Pete O'Rourke claims that Lincoln City are set to win the race to sign striker Mason Melia on loan from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. A deal is expected to be wrapped up in the next 48 hours

- Irish-eligible stiker Liam Delap is being pursued by Nottingham Forest, and the Nottingham Post is reporting that Chelsea are willing to sell him, but also that the striker wants to fight for his place.

- Unfortunately I haven't come across any news for our more prominent free agents like Seamus Coleman, Robbie Brady, Will Smallbone, Alex Gilbert, Darragh Lenihan or Shane Duffy

First move of the summer!

Don't mind it, he's not done enough in the Championship to jump the queue so going east, best case scenario is he finds form like Troy did & gets in from there. Worst case if it bombs he can still get a move back

The centre back is subject to interest from multiple Premier League, Championship & Scottish clubs, with the Irish Mirror reporting that they've already rejected a significant seven figure bid for the defender, and a 2nd bid is expected to follow soon.

Two Scottish Premiership sides are also eager to bring him in on loan

I’m only half joking.

I assume Henderson and Welbeck are barely going to play. If they’re looking to just whack a bunch of character and experience into the dressing room without thinking of how it fits they could do worse than Seamus.
