Celtic reportedly want the Sheffield United star this summer.
Celtic might need to replace not one, but three right-backs this summer.
Jeremy Toljan has already gone back to parent club Borussia Dortmund, while Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa will be leaving as free agents as things stand.
Speculation is rife that Celtic want to sign George Baldock of Sheffield United [The Daily Mail] – and what a brilliant transfer this could be for the Scottish Premiership champions.
As good as Lustig has been, the Swede, who earns £24,000 in Glasgow [The Daily Star], turns 33 in December and it’s time for fresh blood.
And Baldock would be a superb replacement.
The 26-year-old has just played a big role in helping Sheffield United win Premier League promotion. He was so important that you wonder why the Blades would be willing to sell him.
A lot of United fans would happily keep him and if they think he’s good enough for the Premier League, he’s definitely good enough for Celtic up North.
His attacking has come a long way under Chris Wilder, and he seems to have a lot more tactical nous than he did in the not too distant past.
This would be an incredible signing by Celtic and if there’s even a slim chance it could happen, Neil Lennon must do everything he can to make it so.
