Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell would be a good signing for Neil Lennon’s Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell has suggested to Sky Sports that he could leave Leeds United in the summer transfer window in search of regular playing time, and Celtic should make a move.

Peacock-Farrell lost his place in the Leeds starting lineup during the second half of the season following the signing of Kiko Casilla in the January transfer window, and one can understand why the Northern Ireland international goalkeeper wants to look at another club to play regular first-team football.

Celtic could do with a young goalkeeper with international pedigree, and a move for the 22-year-old does make sense.

Craig Gordon is 36 years of age and 27-year-old Scott Bain needs competition, and a young player like Peacock-Farrell is only going to make Neil Lennon’s side stronger between the posts.

Having played for a massive club such as Leeds in the second tier of English football, Peacock-Farrell would not be fazed playing in front of a passionate Celtic crowd.

The youngster also has international experience with Northern Ireland, and he could be a star for the Hoops in years to come.
