Celtic fans have taken to social media to voice their excitement over a potential buy-to-loan deal to bring Lennon Miller to the club.

According to Fitbaw Gospel, Brendan Rodgers' side are close to agreeing to a £5.3million deal for the 18-year-old to join in January before being loaned straight back Motherwell for the remainder of the season.

Football Insider revealed (November 2) that the Scottish champions were ready to battle it out with arch-rivals Rangers for the highly regarded midfielder's signature.

Miller has been fantastic for Motherwell so far this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 16 games across all competitions.

Celtic are keen on beating several English clubs to Miller's signature by completing an early deal and keep him in Scotland for the foreseeable future.

Celtic fans excited by the prospect of a Lennon Miller deal

With the likes of Reo Hatate, Arne Engels, and Callum McGregor in the Celtic midfield, Miller would have to seriously up his game if he makes the move to Parkhead.

Despite the embarrassment of riches, fans have taken to X, formally known as Twitter, to express their excitement about the potential deal.

£5.3m for Lennon Miller?

The boys a real player and at only 18 years old will only get better. A natural replacement for Callum McGregor also through time. It's a deal I'd be happy for us to do.

Celtic get Lennon Miller in January then loaning him back for 6 months is good business for us & Motherwell. Such a promising looking player.

Lennon Miller should be a Celtic player, no doubt about it. I don't have a great idea of what his role in a Celtic team would be, but we just need to get him in the door and figure that out later. He's too talented to miss out on. https://t.co/91904icaIO

Have my reservations about how true it is, but if £5.3m is what Motherwell want from us for Lennon Miller then pay it. Well worth the money, can’t believe there’s folk turning their nose up at that. £5.3m is more than affordable for a top talent.

If the Lennon Miller rumour is true i’ll be buzzing. The fee is correct as well. Anybody saying otherwise hasn’t seen him enough. At his age he’s better than any young player thats came through in a long time.
