Celtic’s “Spanish Wonderkid” — Zion Pullan – the Next Big Talent to Come Through

Celtic’s Yamal?

Celtic winger Zion Pullan has officially been called up to the Spain U15 national squad.

That alone tells you the level of talent Celtic potentially have on their hands.

The 15-year-old previously represented Scotland.
He is also eligible for Nigeria.

Now Spain are involved.

And when Spain start looking seriously at a young technical winger, people notice.

Pullan typically operates as a winger.
Right-footed.
Starting from the left-hand side.

He is said to be

Direct.
Technical.
Aggressive in one-v-one situations.

And the numbers are extraordinary.

93 goal contributions in Celtic’s youth system this season.

At any level, that stands out.

He scored a hat-trick against Rangers at U15 level.

Interest Is Growing Quickly

There is interest in Pullan from England and Spain.

If Pullan continues developing at this speed, Celtic will face a major challenge keeping him long-term.

Supporters have seen this story before.

Ben Doak left early.
Rocco Vata departed after uncertainty over opportunities.

The fear among many fans is obvious.

Will Celtic actually create a “pathway” quickly enough?

A New Wave of “Could Be” Talents

What makes this more interesting is that Pullan is not alone.

There is a growing group of highly rated young Celtic players attracting serious international attention.

Michael Ihmig is another major talent.

He is eligible for South Africa, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Remarkably, he has represented all three nations at U15 level.

That alone shows how highly he is rated.

Across just 20 games, Ihmig has delivered 28 goals and assists.
Again, elite production numbers.

Then there is Hassan Dembele.

The younger brother of former Celtic academy talent Karamoko Dembele.

Naturally, the surname immediately brings pressure and attention.

But within youth circles, Hassan is increasingly viewed as a major prospect in his own right.

Jikiemi Dara, the centre-back, is widely expected to move to Liverpool.

That would be another major academy loss.

Future Celtic Winger?

Zion Pullan may only be 15.

But the attention around him already feels significant.

Spain want him.
Scotland want him.
Nigeria want him.

Now Celtic must make sure the next chapter of that story happens in Glasgow.

Not somewhere else.
