Celtic face Everton, Swansea competition for Everton's Powell

Scottish champions Celtic have been joined by a couple of Premier League clubs who are showing interest in Nick Powell.

The 20-year old Manchester United midfielder has impressed during a season-long loan spell with Wigan Athletic, so much so that Everton and Swansea City are now keen.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon watched the recent FA Cup semi-final between the Latics and Arsenal to cast an eye over Powell who has scored seven goals in the Championship, two in the FA Cup and three in the Europa League this term.

Powell could become available for around £4million in the summer according to the Daily Record but it appears as though Celtic, who are big admirers of the former Crewe Alexandra young gun, will now have to jockey for position with the Toffees and Swans.
