Celtic were named as suitors of the West Bromwich Albion winger earlier this week.
It is being reported that Celtic’s interest in the West Bromwich Albion winger, Oliver Burke, has manifested into an official approach.
Celtic were named as Burke suitors by the Daily Record earlier this week, and the Sun claims the Bhoys manager, Brendan Rodgers, has now asked to take him on loan for the second half of this season.
West Brom are said to have paid around £15 million to sign the Scotland winger from RB Leipzig 18 months ago, but have used him on only 21 occasions since then.
And, according to the Sun, Burke will be allowed leave The Hawthorns and could be tempted by Celtic, but has to be sure he will receive the regular first team football he ‘desperately wants’ amid rival interest from Millwall, Wigan Athletic and Nottingham Forest.
Burke came through the youth ranks at Forest before being sold to Leipzig for a reported fee of around £13 million in 2016.
