Shane Duffy to Celtic transfer boost as odds on Parkhead move tumble

Celtic are odds-on favourites to sign Brighton defender Shane Duffy this summer.

Neil Lennon's side have been linked with a move for the Irishman, who is a die-hard Hoops fan.

Celtic are in the market for another centre-half as Lennon looks to deploy a 3-5-2 formation after the arrival of West Ham striker Albian Ajeti.

And it seems Duffy could be that missing piece of the puzzle as Celtic's odds to sign him on Friday night tumbled into 8/11 on Sky Bet.

Former Parkhead academy player Si Ferry also talked up the possiblity of Duffy joining Celtic as he claimed talks over a move had occurred.

He told Go Radio: "I’ve heard that it could be happening, I’ve heard that Shane Duffy is a possibility.

"I think he has spoken to Celtic and for me it’s exactly the type of centre-half Celtic need.

"He’s not great on the ball, I’ll be honest, you could probably tell him that yourself.

"But aggressive, big, strong, wants to defend - I think that’s exactly the type that Jullien and Ajer need next to them."
