Celtic F.C 21-year-old player Bosun Lawal reveals his secret reason why he moved from Watford to Celtic

With preseason starting soon, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has a lot to think about. He will take some time to look at the choices in his own team.

The Bhoys’ first friendly game of the season is next Friday against Ayr United. Fans may get to see some young players on the fringes play at Somerset Park.

Some people think that Republic of Ireland Under-21 star Bosun Lawal will make a big difference at Celtic this year. He is back at Parkhead after a successful loan spell at Fleetwood Town.

The 21-year-old did very well in his new midfield role south of the border, according to Transfermarkt. He scored six goals and set up two others in 47 games across all categories.

He has now talked about what made him decide to move to Glasgow in 2021, which has got Celtic fans very excited.

Lawal, the boss, talks about why he left Watford to join Celtic.

He said, “I was offered a professional contract at Watford, but I didn’t want to sign it because I thought I was too comfortable at that point. I wanted to be stretched.”

“When Celtic came along, a few other clubs joined. As soon as I heard Celtic, I thought, “Yeah, I’m going to go to Celtic.” As an Irish person, I knew how big Celtic was, so I decided to move to Celtic and challenge myself by living in a different town and learning about a different culture.

It takes courage to make such a choice at age 18. However, Lawal’s choice might pay off because Brendan Rodgers wants to test the Irishman in pre-season.

Sky Bet Championship teams, such as Derby County, Portsmouth, and Queens Park Rangers, are all interested in the Hoops’ players.

In any case, it looks like he will get a chance to show what he can do before the new season starts. If he does well, Lawal might get a spot in the middle for the next season.
