Kieran Maguire tips more Celtic stars to follow Ben Doak to England as Brexit impact explained – Football Insider

More Celtic rising stars could follow Ben Doak to England because of Brexits impact on the youth recruitment market.

That is the view of finance guru Kieran Maguire, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 16-year-old wingers departure to Liverpool.

As relayed by The Athletic last Thursday (31 March), Celtic will receive 600,000 in compensation for the academy star.

Doak was yet to sign a professional contract with the Hoops but had featured twice for the senior team.

His exit at such a young age means that Celtic have been unable to recoup the kind of big-money fee they received for the likes of Kieran Tierney.

The United Kingdoms exit from the European Union has shrunk the recruitment pool for players under the age of 18.

And Maguire anticipates that the likes of Celtic could continue to have their best young talents poached as a result.

Its really frustrating, he told Football Insiders Adam Williams.

Its business, but this is also on the back of Brexit.

Because English clubs can no longer recruit 16 and 17-year-olds from the EU, there will be more snaffling of players from English and Scottish clubs.

Its a disadvantage of Brexit from Celtics point of view. Their young players who are yet to sign professional contracts and that means they are targets.

Because the Premier League cant recruit from Europe, they target players from England and Scotland.

Doak will not be eligible to play academy games for Liverpool until next season.

He has netted four times in seven appearances for Scotland Under-17s.
