DEAL 85%: Brentford leading Celtic in linked to sign Italian based midfielder

The Venezia midfielder was expected to step up to joining Inter Milan but talks have stalled with Celtic and Brentford the unlikely non-Italian duo reported to be showing interest.

Remaining in Italy would seem the most natural option for a Serie B midfielder but as a 22-year-old American internationalist he’ll be aware of how joining Celtic has advanced the career of Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Tanner Tessmann will not be a new Inter player . Negotiations between the two sides have in fact come to a halt as the Nerazzurri have not been able to reach an agreement with the player’s agents. Several teams are now on the trail of the Venezia midfielder.

With the agreement with Inter falling through, several teams are back in the race for the American midfielder born in 2001 .

In Italy the teams involved are Torino, Parma and Como , while abroad there are Celtic and Brentford .

Over the course of the last season, the Venezia midfielder made 37 appearances in Serie B, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists .

That news appears to come from the players agent, at this time of year they will be on overdrive to get their clients on the move.

Few options can be ruled out, with a year left on his Venezia contract a transfer this summer would be in the interests of all parties.

With just two full caps for the USA, both in friendly matches a move to Celtic and the possibility to play in eight Champions League matches will carry some appeal to Tessmann.

As a defensive midfielder the USA internationalist wouldn’t be a direct replacement for Matt O’Riley but with the former MK Dons man likely to be sold this summer additional midfielders are expected to be added to Brendan Rodgers’ squad.
