Celtic have signed plenty of players from Premier League clubs over the years and as we head towards the summer transfer window, it looks like another one is on their radar. The belief is that the Hoops will try to strengthen on the flanks before the start of the 25/26 campaign. Let's see if they are successful in doing that.
They have been linked with players like Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Sondre Orjasaeter lately. But someone who has not even made his senior level debut yet seems to be drawing the interest of Celtic at the same time.
The player we are talking about is none other than Crystal Palace winger Jesse Derry. He could be on the move this summer for a compensation fee. That is because he has not signed a professional contract with the Eagles yet.
As reported by TBR Football, Celtic and Rangers have been in touch regarding Derry. But they are not the only ones. Plenty of Europe's top teams have made contact as well.
Celtic make contact to sign Premier League winger
There is no doubt that someone like Derry would not come in and immediately make an impact on the Celtic team. But he surely has the potential to develop into a player who can in the future.
In 8 Premier League 2 appearances this season, he has scored 9 goals and provided an assist as well. That just goes on to show the level of talent of Derry and it is no wonder that so many top teams are seemingly interesting in signing him, Celtic being one of them.
It remains to be seen if Celtic are successful in signing Derry or not. Even if they do, it is very possible that they will try to bring in another winger in the summer window.
