According to the Daily Mail, Brighton, Burnley and Sheffield United are eyeing a move for Celtic’s Jack Hendry, who is currently on loan at Oostende.
The 25-year-old – who Celtic paid £1.5 million for – joined the Belgian outfit back in the summer, and he’s clearly making a good impression.
Burnley are said to be keen as they eye potential replacements for James Tarkowski, while Brighton are doing the same in regards to Ben White.
In Sheffield United’s case, the Blades are set to reassess their squad as relegation looms large.
Celtic’s hierarchy are set to make a decision on Hendry in the summer.
On the basis of his performances in the Pro League, he’s surely deserving of another chance at Celtic Park.
The 3-cap Scotland international has made 22 Pro League appearances this season, scoring two goals and assisting one more.
Hendry has also dazzled his manager, Alexander Blessin, who only had good things to say about him.
The Daily Record quote him as saying: “He’s been a tower of experience for us. Jack’s the most important member of the team this season and he’s one of the best defenders in the league.”
Surely, the best thing to do would be for Neil Lennon’s replacement to get Hendry back to Glasgow and take a proper look at him.
However, in our view, if Premier League clubs come calling with their big wallets, Celtic might have to accept a good offer in this pandemic-hit market.
