Rocco Vata, the 18-year-old sensation, has once again proven why he’s one of the most talked-about young talents at Celtic and in the Irish youth set up.
During an away game at San Marino, Vata scored a remarkable second-half hat-trick for the Ireland U21 team, a feat that not only secured a victory for his team but also etched his name deeper into the ‘ones to watch’ category. Ireland won the game 7-0 in the end.
Vata’s exceptional performance takes his tally to an impressive five goals in just two appearances for the U21s, showcasing an innate scoring ability that few possess at such a young age.
Currently in the final stretch of his deal with Celtic, Vata has a crucial decision looming over his career. Despite Celtic offering him a new contract, speculation is rife that Vata might be looking to spread his wings and explore new challenges come summer.
While Daniel Kelly might have been the breakthrough player for Celtic this season, Vata’s recent outing with the Ireland U21s underscores a talent that refuses to be overshadowed. His departure could represent a significant loss for Celtic.
