CELTIC had registered an interest in Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis. However, it’s unlikely he will wear the green and white hoops next season, with Burnley set to sign the player.
Celtic are looking to sign a defender this summer to provide cover to Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers. Just now, Celtic have Stephen Welsh providing backup to the defensive pair. As much as he’s been good at providing depth, he can easily be improved on.
Currently, Carl Starfelt is injured, with Celtic fans desperate to discover the extent of the injury. There is a worry that the defender could miss the start of the season, so some quality backup will be required.
Alan Nixon reports Burnely are ‘ahead of Celtic’ in the race for the young player’s signature.
Celtic will have plenty of other options they will be keeping an eye on, but many fans would like to see a defender signed sooner rather than later.
