Celtic fans on Twitter are calling for a permanent deal for Oliver Burke.

Burke, who has four goals in five Premiership starts since joining Celtic on loan from West Bromwich Albion in January, impressed in Saturday’s 2-0 Scottish Cup win at Hibernian.

The jet-heeled attacker, who turns 22 in April, has previously hinted that he would be willing to stay at Parkhead.

Brendan Rodgers signed him from the Baggies but Burke suggested on Friday that he would still be open to joining the Hoops on a permanent basis [90 Minute Cynic], despite Rodgers’s shock exit.

Here’s what fans of the Parkhead club have been saying on Twitter:

Burke would almost certainly cost the Bhoys a club-record fee, eclipsing the £9 million shelled out for Odsonne Edouard last summer.

West Brom spent £15 million [Express & Star] in bringing him back to England following a failed stint at Leipzig and therefore the Baggies won’t be looking to take a big hit on their investment.
