Celtic reportedly want to sign Greg Taylor from Kilmarnock in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Taylor, who can also operate as a midfielder, pulled out of training with Kilmarnock on Friday because of a hamstring strain.
The Hoops have made an official approach for the Scotland international, but their imminent bid will not be the £3 million that Killie want for the youngster, according to the report.
The Daily Record has also claimed that Taylor is keen to talk to Celtic, and that Kilmarnock want Jack Hendry on loan from the Hoops.
The 24-year-old Scotland international central defender joined the Bhoys from Dundee in February 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Record to be worth £1.5 million and when Brendan Rodgers was in charge of the Glasgow giants.
Good signing for Celtic?
Taylor is a very good and promising young left-back, and with Kieran Tierney having left the Hoops, he will be a smart addition to Neil Lennon’s side.
The 21-year-old is still developing and progressing as a footballer, and he could be a star for the Hoops in the coming years.
