Celtic are looking at making new signings and have now made an enquiry to sign a Premier League winner.

The Scottish champions got their title defence off to a superb start by winning 4-0 last weekend and are looking to build on that by adding new signings.

Earlier today we reported on TBR how Celtic were keen on taking Adam Idah on a permanent deal, with a £6m+ deal being put together.

And now, it looks like Celtic are looking to the English game again to make another signing.

Celtic make enquiry to sign Jeffrey Schlupp

According to the Daily Mail’s Sami Mokbel, the Bhoys are looking to swoop on Crystal Palace to sign their £12m winger, Jeffrey Schlupp.

Schlupp, of course, is a Premier League winner having won the title with Leicester City before making the move to Palace.

Oliver Glasner used him last season and labelled the winger as ‘fantastic‘ after he scored a fine goal against Fulham.

However, it looks like Palace could now look to move Schlupp on, depending on Celtic’s level of interest and willingness to pay.

Schlupp could thrive in Scotland

Jeffrey Schlupp has had a very commendable Premier League career and that title win with Leicester will live long in the memory.

A move to Celtic at this stage of his career could be a big one though and he’s likely to thrive in Scotland as well.

Schlupp has power, pace, and as mentioned in Glasner’s praise, an eye for goal.

Palace, of course, will want a decent enough fee for Schlupp and won’t be in a rush to move him on.

But with a potential return for Wilf Zaha and Palace looking to push on under Glasner, Schlupp might well find Celtic hard to turn down right now.
