Swindon Town are one of the clubs chasing Celtic’s young star Jack Aitchison, according to reports.
The 20-year-old was on loan at Forest Green last season and is likely to head back to an EFL club in 2020/21 to continue his development.
He has a number of options, according to former agent and football scout James Goodwin, with Swindon leading the race ahead of both Barrow and Harrogate.
Celtic's Jack Aitchinson is allegedly a target for a number of clubs on loan. Swindon are one name I heard mentioned, although Harrogate and Barrow would also be interested, the former if Jack Diamond doesn't join the club.

The latter are hoping to see Jack Diamond return on loan from Sunderland, although he may be given a chance in the first team at the Stadium of Light.
Aitchison scored five times in 23 starts for Forest Green in League Two last season and showed himself to be a versatile forward, often playing out wide as well as more centrally.
The youngster has played a number of times at various Scottish youth levels, most recently with the U19s squad. He is unlikely to feature for Neil Lennon’s men this season and a move to Swindon under the stewardship of Richie Wellens would be a good move for the player.
Swindon have seen Eoin Doyle, Keshi Anderson and Jerry Yates depart from last season’s title-winning team, but the additions of Jack Payne, Daillang Jaiyesimi and Tyler Smith have been impressive. Aitchison would be another good signing in a forward line that is being rebuilt this summer.
