Dundee are interested in signing Leigh Griffiths from Celtic in the summer transfer window, according to The Scottish Sun.

What’s the story?

It has been reported today (1:36pm) that Dundee have launched ‘a shock bid’ for the former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker.

Dundee want to sign the striker on a loan deal.

The Scotland international is keen on a return to Dundee before the summer transfer window closes next week.

Celtic chiefs are open to offloading the 31-year-old striker now.

Celtic exit sensible

If Griffiths want to leave now, then a transfer to Dundee would make sense.

After all, there is no point in the Scottish Premiership giants keeping the 31-year-old against his wishes.

Celtic could have Griffiths’s wages off their books for the entire season.

Griffiths has not been at his best for a while now, and a change of club could help him get back to his best.

The striker is still only 31, and he has a fair few years left in him at the highest level.

Dundee won promotion from the Scottish Championship at the end of last season, and a striker of Griffiths’s quality and experience will help them in their quest to stay in the Scottish Premiership.
