According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic manager Neil Lennon was present at yesterday’s Europa League qualifying clash between Connah’s Quay and Partizan Belgrade to run the rule over centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic. The £4.5 million-rated 18-year-old was recently linked with a move to Serie A giants Juventus due to his huge potential and talents, and the Hoops boss was keen to see him first-hand. The 6ft 4in defensive powerhouse can also play as an holding midfielder and has caught the eyes of many despite only making his senior bow in February.
Pavlovic has two years left on his deal with Belgrade and has been described as a mix between Nemanja Vidic and Alessio Romagnoli.
