Donnelly is being watched by a number of Premier League and Scottish Premier League teams.
The 20-year-old striker has scored 24 times in 2 games for Airdrie.
“I’m a Celtic fan and used to go to some of their games,” he told the Daily Record. “Obviously it’s great to hear my name linked with them.
“But if I had the choice of going to Celtic or to a club in England, I’d want England. A lot of young Scottish boys are thinking that way now.
“It’s a better standard of football down there. I wouldn’t turn Celtic or Rangers down if they were the only clubs watching me but England is where I want to play.
“I’m not desperate to leave Airdrie but I am desperate to get full-time football, which would allow me to give up my job.”
