The Celtic star has spent this season on loan at Aberdeen, but he could be heading to Hull City in the summer, according to reports.

Ryan Christie of Aberdeen controls the ball during the Partick Thistle and Aberdeen Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match at Firhill Arena on March 10, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to a report from the Daily Star, Championship side Hull City are keen on signing Celtic ace Ryan Christie this summer, with Nigel Adkins keen on bolstering his wide attacking options.

The 23-year-old has really impressed whilst on loan with Aberdeen this season, chalking up eight goals and 14 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions thus far.

Christie, a right midfielder by trade, is full of energy and endeavour, and he possesses all of the attributes needed to be a success in England’s second tier.

The Daily Star claim that the Tigers have scouted the young Scot on numerous occasions this season, and have been impressed with what they have seen.

According to Transfer Markt, Christie is valued at just £700,000, and that would represent excellent value in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market.

The 23-year-old seems certain to leave Parkhead this summer, with first-team opportunities hard to come by, but after his fine displays for Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership this term, Hull will surely not be the only club interested in obtaining his signature at the end of the season.
