Spartak Moscow and Burnley are reportedly interested in signing Jozo Simunovic from Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Spartak Moscow are interested in signing Jozo Simunovic from Celtic in the summer transfer window, according to The Scottish Sun.

It has been reported that Spartak chiefs have been tracking the defender throughout the summer and have enquired about the 23-year-old.

The report has also claimed that Premier League club Burnley are interested in signing the centre-back, with The Scottish Sun reporting last weekend that the Clarets were lining up a £10 million move for the youngster.

Burnley reportedly want to sign the Bosnian as a replacement for Michael Keane, who joined Merseyside outfit Everton earlier in the summer transfer window.

Simunovic has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Dinamo Zagreb for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £3m.

The centre-back is a very good player, and it would not be wise of Celtic to sell him this summer as they have Champions League football to contend with.

The Bhoys have been drawn against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Anderlecht in Champions League Group B, while defending Russian champions Spartak will take on Sevilla, Liverpool and Maribor in Group E.
