Inter Miami step up pursuit for Lewis Morgan as David Beckham's side ask Celtic for permission to talk to winger

David Beckham Inter Miami have asked permission to speak to Celtic winger Lewis Morgan.

The 23-year old, who has had loan spells with St Mirren and Sunderland in recent seasons, has made 18 appearances for Neil Lennon's side this campaign and scored twice with both goals coming in the Europa League.

Beckham's club, coached by 44-year-old Diego Alonso, face FC Dallas on February 22 in their first game and hope to have Morgan on board by then.

Morgan is keen to play more regularly but may need convincing whether a move to MLS is best for his career at this stage.
