Like many before him, Matt O'Riley left Celtic in order to move to the Premier League. The Danish midfielder joined Brighton & Hove Albion in a Scottish-record move after an excellent season with the Hoops. On paper, it looked like the perfect club for him as the Seagulls have a fantastic recent track record when it comes to developing and improving players.

Things have been tough for O'Riley since joining Brighton & Hove Albion though. He suffered an injury very early on in the season.

Even when O'Riley returned to fitness, chances proved hard to come by for the Danish international. So far this season. he has only made five starts in the Premier League for Brighton.

Now, he is already being linked with a move away from the club. As reported by Graeme Bailey, AS Roma are one of a number of clubs in Italy interested in signing O’Riley from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer.

Celtic fans will remember that there was a ton of interest from Italy in signing O'Riley before he joined Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer. Inter Milan were rumoured to be keeping an eye on him. On the other hand, it is believed that Atalanta made multiple failed transfer bids for the midfielder.

It is very clear that things are not working out for him at Brighton. So, will O'Riley look to leave the club just a year after joining them?

Also, are Brighton & Hove Albion ready to give up on O'Riley already? In the past, we have seen the Seagulls show more patience with other players, even when things are not working out.

So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for O'Riley. We can only wish him the best of luck moving forward.
