West Ham have reportedly missed out on signing Bruno Davidson despite tabling an offer to the young winger.
That’s according to the Daily Record, cited by HITC, who claim that the Hammers, along with fellow Premier League side Leciester City both made offers to the 15-year-old.
However, the report reveals that Hutchison Vale winger Davidson has decided to remain in Scotland by signing a three-year deal with Celtic.
Davidson, who also went on trial at Liverpool and Southampton, is thought to have signed a three-year deal with the Scottish heavyweights, with talks finalising on Tuesday evening.

The Hammers must have viewed Davidson as a future star to reportedly offer the youngster terms at the London Stadium, and he could’ve proved to be an exciting addition.
His style of play, strengths and weaknesses are currently unknown due to no professional senior experience, but with several sides after his signature, he’s clearly highly-rated, so the news comes as a blow.
West Ham are known for developing bright prospects into first-team stars, with Declan Rice the most recent example, but it looks like they’ve missed out on adding Davidson to their ranks.
In terms of senior wide additions, David Moyes could do with one this month. An out-and-out winger could be of use to the Hammers as they look to increase their tally of 25 goals in 20 Premier League fixtures, via PremierLeague.com.
