Celtic transfer activity sees Neil Lennon's side rocket ahead of Euro giants in deadline day chart

Celtic are ahead of European giants Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich when it comes to fans’ desire for transfer talk.

According to the latest data the Hoops come in seventh in a table of monthly searches for comings and goings at their club.

Indeed Celtic are the top performing side outside the Premier League.

The Scottish champions - closing in on a loan deal for AC Milan left-back Diego Laxalt as Neil Lennon looks to bring in at least one more player before tonight’s deadline - are the subject of an impressive 64,000 transfer searches online every month.

That’s enough to see them outrank La Liga duo Barca (58,000) and Real (50,000) in eighth and ninth aswell as Bundesliga behemoths Bayern (26,000) in 10th.

Rangers also rank highly with Light Blues supporters hitting the button on transfer searches 18,000 times a month to see them come in 13th in the table.

Steven Gerrard is also hopeful of adding one more to his squad today with Preston playmaker Daniel Johnson and Amiens midfielder Bongani Zungu on the fingertips of Rangers supporters.

When it comes to most transfer searches however, Manchester United are way out in front.

Red Devils supporters are desperate for some good news on deadline day - with Jadon Sancho a top target - after Sunday’s horror 6-1 defeat at home to Tottenham.

And in a month Manchester United are the subject of an incredible 719,000 transfer searches.

Premier League clubs dominate the top 10 with Arsenal (633,000), Chelsea (512,000), Liverpool (414,000), Spurs (109,000) and Manchester City (72,000) making up the top six.
