Ipswich Town look set to lose Dylan Crowe with Scottish Premiership champions Celtic reportedly battling Huddersfield and Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.

Dylan Crowe of Ipswich Town looks on during the FA Youth Cup 5th Round match between Watford and Ipswich Town at The Maurice Rebak Stadium on February 12, 2019 in London, England.

Celtic are interested in signing the versatile Ipswich Town defender Dylan Crowe, according to the Mail.

The England youth star has come through the ranks at Portman Road, having joined the Tractor Boys at the age of 12, and has been tipped for a bright future by Ipswich manager Paul Lambert despite failing to make a single Championship appearance last season.

It remains to be seen, however, whether Crowe is still playing his football in Anglia by the time the 2019/20 campaign kicks off.

The Mail claim that Huddersfield Town have seen a £300,000 bid rejected with Ipswich demanding a compensation fee of half a million for their most promising young talent, who is out of contract this summer.

But The Terriers are not the only club clamouring around Crowe. RB Leipzig, who have a habit of snapping up some of Europe’s most talented youngsters, are keen to make Crowe the Bundesliga’s latest highly-rated Englishman.

Scottish Premiership champions Celtic are keen too.

With Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa out of contract and Jeremy Toljan returning to Borussia Dortmund, Celtic are crying out for a right-back but is Crowe ready to paly regularly for a club of Celtic’s stature?
