Shane Duffy to Celtic transfer boost as Hoops' odds shorten after Brighton defender's signing hint

Celtic are big favourites to sign Brighton defender Shane Duffy.

The Hoops are reportedly in talks with the Irishman over a move to Parkhead, with West Ham and West Brom also keen.

It is claimed the Seagulls are demanding £2million to facilitate a loan switch, but Neil Lennon's side are still in pole position to land the die hard Celtic fan.

Sky Bet had the Hoops at 8/11 to sign Duffy on Friday night, but his latest signing hint on social media has caused those odds to shorten.

Duffy followed Celtic's official account on Instagram on Monday and said he was "excited to see what the future brings" as the speculation surrounding his future grows.

And Paddy Power now has Celtic at 2/5 to seal his signature, with West Ham at 5/2 and Premier League new boys West Brom at 6/1.

Lennon was blunt with the media at Monday's press conference when he was asked about his side's link with 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.”
