Burnley are reportedly interested in signing Jozo Simunovic from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that the Premier League club are lining up a £10 million bid for the 23-year-old central defender.
“Clarets boss Sean Dyche sent chief scout Martin Hodge to watch the powerful Bosnian in action last week,” states the report in The Scottish Sun.
The Scottish Sun has claimed that Celtic manager Brendon Rodgers will not want to sell Simunovic in the summer transfer window, but Burnley reportedly want the youngster to replace Michael Keane, who joined Everton earlier in the summer transfer window.
Simunovic is a good and talented young defender, and the Bosnian would be a good signing for Burnley.
However, with Celtic set to progress to the group stage of the Champions League, the Bhoys will need Simunovic as the season progresses.
Although the Clarets are a Premier League club, the young centre-back could decide to stay at Celtic for one more season and get more Champions League experience.
Burnley will be fighting for survival in the Premier League, while Celtic will be aiming to win the domestic treble this season.
