Everton, Celtic 'in battle for Sheffield United teenager'

Everton and Celtic are reportedly both interested in signing Sheffield United teenager David Parkhouse.

The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Derry City, and the forward has already scored 18 times in all competitions for the League of Ireland Premier League club this season.

According to Football Insider, both Everton and Celtic are eyeing moves for the youngster, who has been described as 'the new Jamie Vardy'.

Parkhouse, who was named on the Sheffield United bench in the EFL Cup last season, will see his contract will expire at the end of the campaign and it is unclear whether an extension has been discussed.

The forward initially joined Derry City on a six-month loan in January before the agreement was extended until the end of the League of Ireland campaign in October.
