Celtic could be free to land Brentford left back Rico Henry.
Celtic are continuing to bat off interest from Arsenal in Kieran Tierney, but they will have left backs lined up just in case he leaves before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
The Bhoys haven’t been impressed with Arsenal’s bids so far, but Neil Lennon told The Mirror that Celtic had lined up potential replacements already.
The Sun now claim that Celtic want to sign Brentford left back Rico Henry, and have been told that they young talent can move on for £7million this summer.
Celtic may need to wait until Tierney goes in order to justify a deal, given that they’ve already signed Boli Bolingoli this summer, but the saga has taken a surprise twist.
The same report notes that Brentford are lining up Derby County youngster Max Lowe as his replacement, and Celtic know all about him.
The Express reported in June that Celtic were eyeing up Lowe to solve their left back issues, having watched him impress on loan at Aberdeen last season.
Instead of heading to Parkhead, Lowe may now move on to Griffin Park – and in turn, allow Celtic to get Henry in as Tierney’s replacement.
This just sums up the merry-go-round of the transfer window, and just weeks after Lowe was on the Celtic radar, he could instead replace the left back Lennon really wants in a strange twist.
