Celtic are interested in signing Liam Moore from Reading in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Record.

It has been reported that although Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants to sign Shane Duffy from Brighton and Hove Albion, he is looking at other options, and Moore has emerged as an alternative.

The report has claimed that Reading value the 27-year-old central defender at £4.5 million, but the Royals are willing to negotiate on that fee.

Stats

Moore has been on the books of Reading since 2016 and has established himself as an important figure in the team over the years.

The former England Under-21 international central defender made 40 starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship for the Royals this past season, scoring one goal in the process, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Celtic?

Moore is a very good defender who has a wealth of experience, and at the age of 27, he is at the top of his game and in his prime.

The Englishman is a no-nonsense defender who would make Celtic better and stronger at the back, with the Hoops aiming to make it 10 Scottish Premiership titles in a row this season.
