Report: Celtic interested in Shane Duffy

Celtic are interested in signing Shane Duffy from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.

West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion and Burnley are also reported to be interested in securing the services of the 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international defender this summer.

The report has added that earlier this week, Celtic manager Neil Lennon held talks with Duffy – who earns £40,000 per week as salary at Brighton, according to Spotrac.com – over a one-year loan deal.

The former Everton and Blackburn Rovers defender is keen on a season in the Scottish Premiership and wants to play for Celtic, but a deal will depend over loan fee and compromise over wages, according to the report, which has added that the Seagulls are prepared to let him leave this summer.
