Celtic reportedly want Aberdeen’s Scott McKenna.

Celtic have made a bid of £5 million for Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna, according to The Scottish Sun.

Aberdeen, though, according to the report, have turned down that offer and want £10 million as transfer fee for the 22-year-old defender.

The report has also claimed that Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes believes that the 22-year-old Scotland international defender will eventually leave the club.

Good signing for Celtic?

McKenna is one of the best central defenders in the Scottish Premiership, and the 22-year-old would be a very good signing for the Celtic.

The Hoops do need to sign a young and talented central defender in the summer transfer window following the departure of Dedryck Boyata and the return of Filip Benkovic to his parent club Leicester City.

At 22, McKenna can only get better, and Celtic manager Neil Lennon knows how to get the best out of young players.

The Hoops have won the domestic treble in Scotland for the past three seasons and will be expected to make it four in a row in 2019-20.
