Celtic have moved to sign the son of ex-Celt Rudi Vata on a five year contract. Rocco Vata will hope to emulate his Dad and work to the first team at Celtic.
The 13-year-old has been at Celtic for a few weeks now and has now earned a contract with the Celtic Academy.
Despite the news not being broken on official channels, a supporter who is close with Rocco’s mum has broken the news on twitter.
