‘Deal behind the scenes’ – Keith Jackson issues transfer update on Celtic major target | OneFootball

Celtic are one of the clubs showing keen interest in signing Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller.

The Bhoys made some fantastic signings during the summer transfer window, and their business model is widely admired.

Celtic have made a great start to the 2024/25 campaign, and they have already taken a nine-point lead over Rangers.

The Hoops have made a strong start in the Champions League as well. Should they be looking to add a bit of extra quality to the side in January?

What Keith Jackson has said about Miller

With every game they play in Europe this season, their earnings increase, and therefore, many pundits believe they have a strong chance of signing Miller in the January window.

Rangers are also in the race for Miller, but Keith Jackson suggests that Celtic should be working on a deal behind the scenes to bring the 18-year-old to Parkhead.

He wrote for the Daily Record: “If Celtic aren’t already trying to engineer a deal behind the scenes then they should be. Rangers are unlikely to have the financial clout to compete.

“But if England’s top flight comes sniffing around then both of them might be priced out of the bidding.”

Miller would be a terrific signing for Celtic

The exciting young midfielder has progressed leaps and bounds within such a short time, and the burgeoning growth has not gone unnoticed.

Since progressing through the academy ranks at the club, he has not only become an important player for the senior side but has recently worn the captain’s armband in the absence of injured Paul McGinn and Stephen O’Donnell.

Miller has a contract at Fir Park until 2026, and Motherwell have slapped an asking price of over £4 million.

Celtic spent a lot of money on Adam Idah and Arne Engels during the summer window, and they should be able to meet Motherwell’s demands.

Miller would be a terrific signing for Celtic. However, if Liverpool or Southampton join the race for him, Celtic could struggle to win the bidding war.
