According to the Daily Mail, Celtic want George Baldock from Sheffield United.

Celtic are keen to strengthen at right-back this summer, as they look for an upgrade on Mikael Lustig.

Baldock is seen as a potential option for Neil Lennon’s side, after he helped Sheffield United achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Although Baldock is excited by the opportunity ahead at Blades, he is now said to be interested in a move to Celtic.

Baldock knows of the Bhoys’ interest, and would be keen to talk to them if a fee can be agreed.

Lennon has suggested that he wants to sort Celtic’s business out early on this summer, and Baldock’s addition has been one which has been identified as a possibility.

Baldock scored once and claimed three assists in the Championship last season, playing a crucial role towards the back end of the campaign for Chris Wilder’s side.

The 26-year-old has just one year left on his current deal at Bramall Lane, meaning Celtic feel he could be available this summer.
