Report: Celtic want to sign James McCarthy

Scottish champions Celtic are reportedly interested in signing James McCarthy from Crystal Palace this summer.

According to reports from 90 mins, the Bhoys are planning to step up their interest in the 29-year-old midfielder amid concerns over the future of Scott Brown.

A host of Premier League clubs are interested in signing the former England midfielder, but the Hoops are confident in landing him.

Brown’s deal expires in summer, and Celtic are looking to sign his replacement as early as possible. The report claims that Neil Lennon has earmarked McCarthy, who earns around £50k-per-week at Palace, as a potential option.
