Celtic are reportedly interested in adding yet another American defender to their ranks…
The Scottish Champions, who are in a three way fight to retain their title, are set for a huge summer rebuild regardless of whether the title is secured.
Despite no news on the manager, Celtic appear to be making efforts to front load some of the work they have to do this summer, including handing out extensions to Liam Scales, Luke McCowan and James Forrest.
Celtic keen on permanent deal for Marcelo Saracchi
Last week there was even a suggestion that efforts were being made to make Marcelo Saracchi’s stay in Glasgow permanent with Celtic set to meet with Boca Juniors later this month. Now, it has been revealed that Celtic are interested in signing West Brom’s George Campbell.
Campbell has impressed during a difficult season for West Brom
According to Mark Hendry over at Celts Are Here, Celtic have held talks with West Brom over the signature of the 24-year-old defender.
The right sided defender has impressed in what has been a poor season for The Baggies as they narrowly avoided the drop. It has been claimed that Celtic have held discussions and a deal could be forthcoming as they look to fortify the backline, which was exposed this year given the injury to Cameron Carter-Vickers back in October.
Cameron Carter Vickers is back on the grass
CCV is back training but remains unlikely to feature again this season. Adequate cover and competition for the backline is important, especially with the risk of further setbacks for his compatriot. Campbell appears a steady option, indeed a fairly cheap prospect. With 38 appearances in the EFL Championship, scoring four goals.
