Report: Newcastle interested in signing 21-yr-old Celtic target liked by Steve Nickson
Newcastle are interested in signing the Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull. As per the Chronicle, Celtic are keen on the player as well and Newcastle have checked him out a number of times this past season. The 21-year-old was expected to sign for Celtic last summer but the move fell through because of an injury. The report adds that Steve Nickson, Newcastle’s head of recruitment, likes the player and he could be signed for a fee of around £3m. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle make a move for the player in the coming months. The reported fee should not be a problem for them at all. Also, they can offer him more money than Celtic. The chance to play for a Premier League club might tempt the player. Furthermore, Newcastle are in the middle of a takeover and their potent...

Rangers are keen on signing the Amiens midfielder Bongani Zungu this summer. As per Football Insider, they have already submitted a lucrative contract to the midfielder and they are speaking to his club as well. Also, they are hopeful of reaching an agreement. The 27-year-old is valued at £3.8m and he has been linked with an exit after Amiens’ relegation from Ligue 1. It will be interesting to see if Rangers can bring him to Ibrox this summer. A move to Rangers would be a great option for Zungu. It would be a step up in his career. Not only would he be joining a bigger club, but he will also get to play European football with them. It remains to be seen if Rangers agree to pay the asking price for Zungu. Convincing the player should not be a problem for them. They can pay him more mon...

Report: 29y/o agrees terms with EPL side challenging for Europe after leaving Rangers
According to The Scottish Sun, English goalkeeper Wes Foderingham is set to sign for Sheffield United after leaving Rangers when his contract expired in May. The 29-year-old spent five years at Ibrox, featuring in 143 games across all competitions. Foderingham was the first-choice goalie under managers Mark Warburton, Pedro Caixinha and Graeme Murty, but he had to play as cover to Allan McGregor since Steven Gerrard brought him back in 2018. The Blades could be without on-loan Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson next season and that will give the former Rangers star a chance to challenge for the starting berth. Foderingham could also be playing in Europe next term as Sheffield are looking to finish in the Europa League places after a fine campaign since earning promotion from the Engli...
Report: Hammers want to sign 26-goal striker who is now available for £12 million
According to Football Insider, West Ham United want to sign a striker this summer and will look to bring Rangers star Alfredo Morelos to the London Stadium. The Colombian is wanted by a couple of clubs in the Premier League and Europe after scoring 26 goals across all competitions for Steven Gerrard’s side in 2019-20. The Hammers are edging closer to securing their top-flight status and manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his attack going forward. Rangers could be open to the idea of cashing in on Morelos after the coronavirus pandemic hit their finances, but his £20 million evaluation has now dropped to £12 million due to the pandemic. The 24-year-old bagged 12 league goals in 26 appearances for the Light Blues this term, with 14 others coming in the Europa League qualifying round and...
‘Something I’ll need to think about’: 26 y/o PL player comments on future Celtic move
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has suggested that he would be open to joining Scottish champions Celtic in the future. The Premier League winner, who joined the Reds from Hull City for just £8m, has proved to be one of the bargain signings for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. He has progressed immensely under Klopp and is arguably one of the best left-backs in the world at the moment. The Scotland international joined Celtic as a kid. However, he was released by the club, and the defender moved to Queen’s Park. Robertson has said that it would be hard to say ‘No’ to Celtic straightaway and that it is something (a future move) he will need to think about in the future. At the same time, he has admitted that he loves playing for Liverpool and it is an incredible feeling to play at Anfi...
Report: Celtic in the hunt to sign 22 y/o winger in red-hot form
Celtic have shown relentless supremacy in the domestic circuit for the past nine years. With or without Rangers, no one can deny that they have been head and shoulders above the rest. The Bhoys could make history if they win the Scottish Premiership title in 2020/21, which will be their 10th title in a row. Needless to say, Neil Lennon will do everything to add enough quality to the side. Signing a goalkeeper (maybe more than one), and a top-quality centre-back should be his top priority, but there are other areas he could look to bolster. According to reports from The Sun (The print edition, 13 July, page 47), the Hoops are showing keen interest in signing Grady Diangana, who is currently on loan at West Bromwich Albion from West Ham. The report claim that the Bhoys are adm...
Report: Celtic have held talks with 11-goal star’s representatives, Rangers want him as well
Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing the Charlton striker Lyle Taylor this summer. As per Daily Record, both clubs have held talks with the player’s representatives but neither have come forward with a formal offer so far. Taylor is a free agent after refusing to extend his deal with Charlton so that he can play out the remaining games of the season. Apparently, the player was worried that any injury could jeopardise his chances of getting a move this summer. It will be interesting to see if Celtic or Rangers make their move for the 30-year-old this summer. On a free transfer, he could prove to be a useful addition to their squad. Both clubs could use some depth in their attack and Lyle Taylor fits the bill. He managed to score 11 goals last season and Celtic/Rangers aren’t the onl...
