Celtic News: Daniel Cummings Joins West Ham
Celtic striker Daniel Cummings has agreed to join West Ham on July 1st, 2025, after his contract with the club expires. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal, stating, “Daniel Cummings will join West Ham on July 1st, agreement done and here we go!”

Cummings’ Time at Celtic
During his time at Celtic, Cummings scored 30 goals for the B Team, mostly in the Lowland League, which is the fifth tier of Scottish football. He also made his Champions League debut at Villa Park, coming on as a substitute in the 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa.

Training Compensation
According to Romano, Celtic will receive €300,000 in training compensation from West Ham. This is a notable amount, considering the club turned down a deadline day bid from West Ham in January, which was reportedly no more than the sum they would receive in the cross-border competition.

Pathway to the First Team
Cummings’ journey to the first team was marked by a few minutes of playing time under Brendan Rodgers. This mirrors the experience of Ben Doak, who was given minutes by Ange Postecoglou before joining Liverpool. The pathway to the Celtic first team is certainly available for talented players, but the club may need to rethink its strategy for developing young players.

Concerns About the Celtic Academy
The departure of Cummings, along with other promising talents like Rocco Vata to Watford and Ben Doak to Liverpool, raises questions about the quality of players coming through the Celtic Academy. While the success of some players like Ben Doak has alerted other clubs to the potential of the academy, the club may need to do more to develop its young players and prevent them from leaving.

Best of Luck to Daniel Cummings
As Cummings embarks on his new journey with West Ham, we wish him the best of luck. His decision to join the Premier League club is a testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft. The outcome of his move will be closely watched, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to the demands of the Premier League ¹.
