According to Goal, Hibernian teenager Josh Doig is attracting huge interest for a potential summer move.

It’s claimed that Celtic are interested and want to keep him in Scotland, but they’re facing huge competition.

Arsenal and Manchester City are keen to lure him to England, whilst Leeds United are also in the race.

Doig would allegedly cost around £1million, meaning he could be a bargain addition for any of the clubs involved.

Doig, 18, has come up through the Hibernian ranks and carved out a role at left back or left wing back with Hibs, showing the potential to become a future.

Where would he be best off going then? Well, Arsenal already have a Scottish left back in place in Kieran Tierney, and it’s unlikely that Doig or anyone else will steal his role any time soon.

City do need a left back, but they continue to stockpile young players, and Doig needs to think about first-team opportunities moving forward.

Diego Laxalt is only on loan at Celtic, meaning Doig could fit as his replacement at a much cheaper price, whilst joining other Scottish talents at Parkhead should be appealing.

Leeds are another appealing option; Marcelo Bielsa plays an exciting brand of football, and they could do with a left back of the future given that nobody has really nailed down that position in recent times.
