Shane Duffy Celtic transfer price crash after second social media clue

In-demand Brighton defender Shane Duffy is odds-on to secure a sensational transfer to boyhood heroes Celtic.

The 28-year-old is poised to leave the Seagulls and the Premiership champions have opened talks over a deal to bring the stopper to Glasgow.

A potential £2m loan deal for Duffy won't be straightforward due to his hefty wage packet and the host of sides chasing his signature.

West Ham, West Brom and Burnley are all in the mix to land the Republic of Ireland who is held in high regard due his uncompromising approach.

But Paddy Power reckon Duffy's most likely destination is Celtic with their odds as short as 2/5 with the bookies.

The price drop on a switch to Scotland comes hours after Duffy appeared to follow the Hoops on Instagram and that social media clue followed on from the announcement that he was excited to "see what this season brings!"

Duffy signed off with the eyes emoji and a football, indicating that something is afoot with his professional future.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon played it cool on Monday but over rampant speculation surrounding Duffy.

He said: "Look, guys, I keep repeating myself: I'm not going to talk about players until they're in the building.

"You get a rumour here, speculation there; about players going, players coming in.

"I'm not prepared to comment on any player who is affiliated with another club until they're sat next to me."

Shane Duffy's next club odds

Fulham - 20/1

Leeds - 18/1

Burnley - 13/1

West Brom - 6/1

West Ham - 5/2

Celtic - 2/5
