Celtic are linked to Scott McKenna who reportedly has a huge valuation.
Celtic have been linked with Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic have joined Swansea City in pursuit of the 21-year-old who the Dons value at around £10 million [The Daily Record].
The Hoops have been light on centre-back options in recent weeks after Jozo Simunovic missed the third-round Champions League qualifier with Rosenborg through suspension, while Dedryck Boyata has been on extended holiday after helping Belgium to a World Cup semi-final in Russia earlier this summer.
However, it remains to be seen if Brendan Rodgers will need a new central defender from here on in.
Here is how some Celtic fans reacted to the rumour about McKenna.
It seems unlikely that the Hoops would drop £10 million on McKenna – and certainly not before they knew whether a £30 million windfall is heading their away by qualifying for the Champions League proper.
Rodgers has already broken the club’s transfer record this summer by signing Odsonne Edouard for £8 million and doing so again appears to be quite unrealistic at the moment.
