Former Rangers striker Kevin Kyle has given his take on Celtic’s pursuit of David Turnbull on Twitter.

Celtic have announced on their official Twitter page that although they have agreed on a fee with Motherwell – which is reported to be £3 million-plus by The Scottish Sun – regarding the transfer of Turnbull, the 19-year-old midfielder’s agent has not accept the club’s offer to the player.

According to The Scottish Sun, the Hoops are ready to pay the youngster a five-figure weekly salary, but Turnbull’s representatives are asking for close to £20,000 a week as wages.

Former Rangers striker Kyle, 37, has given his take on the situation on Twitter, and although he has praised the teenage midfielder, he has criticised the wages that his agent is reportedly demanding.

Moving to Celtic

Turnbull is a very good and promising young midfielder, and there is no doubt that the 19-year-old will be a good signing for Celtic.

However, it remains to be seen if the midfielder and his agent accept the current offer from the Hoops, as it does not seem that the Glasgow giants will increase it.
