Report: Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull took advice from Andy Robertson before agreeing to Celtic move

According to the Scottish Sun, new Celtic signing David Turnbull spoke with Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson before finally deciding to leave Motherwell for Parkhead.

The 19-year-old agreed terms with the Hoops on Thursday and is set to feature for manager Neil Lennon’s side next season.

However, Turnbull was close to joining Norwich as the English side offered him more wages, but a timely advice from the Champions League winner changed his mind.

The teenage sensation and Robertson share the same agent, and was most likely told to move to Celtic if he wants regular football more than Norwich can guarantee and offer.
