🚨🇮🇪 EXCLUSIVE: Hoffenheim in advanced talks to sign Irish talent Michael Noonan from Shamrock Rovers!
Understand Celtic are also in the race and presented a bid in the last 24h worth for 17 year old striker.
Hoffenheim want to seal the agreement as soon as possible.
Former St Patrick’s Athletic youngster Glen Ilunga has signed a two-year scholarship with Burnley! 🇮🇪
Ilunga has already trained with both the U21s and the first team, and he scored on his debut for Burnley’s U16s in a game against Spurs. He’s set to step up and begin playing with the U18s from January.
Under Brexit regulations, Irish players cannot move to English clubs until they turn 18. However, Ilunga (born in 2009) was able to complete the move earlier as he had already relocated to Manchester with his family. Playing for a local grassroots club there, he quickly caught the eye of Burnley’s scouts, making the transfer possible despite being under 18.
Important message. There are concerns about Chris (Bucky ) Ohares whereabouts in Budapest. If there is anyone in this group who has contacts over in Budapest other than our lads out there, please message them to keep an eye out. Or pass on any info they might have.
RECORD BREAKER⭐️🇮🇪
Michael Noonan has put Ireland U21 ahead against Andorra to become Irelands youngest ever goalscorer at U21 level.
What a moment for the 17 year old!
The harsh reality is that our #LOIAcademy system currently ranks between 92-96 in the top 100 ranked countries in the world and the impact of Brexit has yet to reach the MNT yet.
