Daniel Cummings Next Club Odds: Premier League Clubs Eye Teenage Celtic Prodigy

Celtic youngster Daniel Cummings is a star in the making, but the vultures are already thought to be circling for a player that has yet to make an appearance for the first team.
The 18-year-old striker has been making waves for the Hoops’ B team and betting sites are already wondering whether the teenage hot-shot will be heading for a Premier League or Championship club.
Cummings made his senior debut for the Hoops in their 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa in the Champions League, reward for scoring 33 goals in 48 games for the Hoops' 'B' team.
Celtic are determined to tie the Scotland Under-18s forward down to a new deal to ensure they make a handsome profit should he ever be sold, but will they be trumped by some of the leading lights in the Premier League?
We’re taking a look at which teams are at the front of the queue to sign this precocious talent and the next Daniel Cummings club odds.

Hammer Time For Cummings?
West Ham are thought to be interested in snapping up Cummings, whose goals have helped steer Celtic to the last 32 of the UEFA Youth League.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano namechecked the Hammers this week as one of two Premier League clubs hoping to sign the youngster.
Cummings, , out of contract in the summer, will have to decide whether he is better off signing a new deal and breaking into Celtic’s first team or potentially becoming an obscure figure in a big Hammers squad.
🚨 West Ham and Brighton are both keen on signing 18 year old Celtic striker Daniel Cummings, with Celtic pushing for him to stay and sign new deal.

New West Ham boss Graham Potter would be sure to nurture him and introduce him when the conditions are right, but the former Chelsea boss is still becoming acquainted with the first-team squad.
The east Londoners are the 8/5 favourites with football betting sites to sign Cummings.
Seagulls Flock Towards Young Talent
Potter’s former club Brighton are also in the running to sign Cummings, according to Romano.
The Seagulls are just behind the Hammers at 13/8, but the Celtic starlet may wonder whether he would be crowded out on the English south coast bearing in mind what happened to Evan Ferguson.
The Ireland international was destined for great things as a teenager after a breakout 2022/23 season during which he scored 13 goals in all competitions for club and country.
Daniel Cummings Next Club Odds
Club | Odds | Probability |
West Ham | 8/5 | 38.5% |
Brighton | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Sunderland | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Brentford | 3/1 | 25% |
Fulham | 7/2 | 22.2% |
Ipswich | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Wolves | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Burnley | 10/1 | 9.1% |
However, Ferguson has struggled with an ankle injury since April 2024 and has started just two Premier League games this season, scoring just once.
The 20-year-old striker could join a club on loan in January, according to head coach Fabian Hurzeler, although it had been assumed Ferguson wanted a permanent move.
Brighton are a progressive club, though, under Hurzeler, who would give Cummings a chance if he thought he was good enough.
Black Cats On The Prowl
Sunderland have cultivated a reputation for giving youngsters first-team opportunities, so it makes sense that betting apps make the Championship promotion hopefuls one of the favourites to sign Cummings.
Striker Chris Rigg, 17, is a first-team regular and 18-year-old midfielder Tom Watson has started six Championship games since November, scoring both goals in a 2-1 victory over Stoke.
Black Cats manager Regis Le Bris is clearly undaunted by offering teenagers the chance to shine on the big stage and his selection policy has paid dividends this season.
Cummings is one for the future, though, and Sunderland are 2/1 to bring him to the Stadium of Light.
Cummings Heading For Bees’ Hive?
Brentford are another Premier League club monitoring the Bhoys prodigy, according to the Daily Mail.
Bees manager Thomas Frank does not have a reputation for blooding youngsters in the first team, but there were four teenagers on the bench for the FA Cup defeat by Plymouth.
Brentford would view Cummings as a long-term project, developing his talent until he is ready for the challenge of the Premier League.
The Bees are 3/1 to sign Cummings, while west London neighbours Fulham are available at 7/2.
Tractor Boys Outsiders For Cummings Signature
Ipswich and Wolves are in Premier League relegation battle this season, but they may already have one eye on the future.
The Tractor Boys have also been linked with a move for the Hoops youngster and are 6/1 to bring him to Suffolk.
Wolves, level on points with Ipswich but inside the bottom three because of an inferior goal difference, are 8/1 to sign Cummings this month or during the summer transfer window.
Elsewhere, Championship promotion prospects Burnley are 10/1 to sign the teenage forward.
