Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday are interested in David Turnbull after Celtic pulled out of the running, according to a report.

According to The Scottish Sun, Norwich City have agreed a £3 million fee with Motherwell over the transfer of David Turnbull after Celtic decided to pull the plug on the deal, but Sheffield Wednesday may still make a late move.

Celtic’s decision

The Scottish Sun has reported that Neil Lennon’s Celtic have decided not to pursue their interest in Turnbull after failing to agree on wages despite having reached a £3m agreement with Motherwell.

It has been reported that Celtic were willing to pay the 19-year-old a weekly salary of £12,000, with the teenage midfielder currently earning £600 per week as salary, but his agent was demanding £20,000 per week as wages.

The Scottish Sun has claimed that despite promoted Premier League club Norwich having had a bid accepted by Motherwell, Wednesday in the Championship in England may make a similar offer.

Good signing for Sheffield Wednesday?

Norwich’s reported interest in Turnbull shows just how good the midfielder is and how talented the Scotland Under-21 international is, and there is no doubt that the teenager would be a very good long-term signing for Wednesday.
