Maja valued

Celtic are supposedly interested in signing Josh Maja this month, and his valuation has now been revealed.

According to The Sun, the Black Cats want £4 million for the 20-year-old, who has scored 15 goals in League One so far this season.

Cardiff City are believed to have had a £2million bid rejected for the player, who is out of contract the Stadium of Light this summer.

Maja was offered a new £6000-a-week contract to remain at Sunderland but that was rejected as he eyes his future elsewhere.

Morgan tug-of-war

Winger Lewis Morgan is set to leave the club on loan this month, with Aberdeen and Hibernian set to tussle over his services (The Daily Record).

Brendan Rodgers, ruling out a return to his former club, said: “We’ve had enquiries but nothing imminent that I’m aware of. We’ve spoken about the idea of going on loan but he has a number of possibilities. He loved his time at St Mirren and it’s nothing against the club or manager.”

Morgan joined the club a year ago and was immediately loaned back to St. Mirren. He has made 13 appearances for the club.

Iorfa ‘not a target’

Rodgers has poured cold water on the reports linking Wolverhampton Wanderers outcast Dominic Iorfa to Parkhead (The Scotsman).

The ex-Liverpool boss claimed Iorfa was ‘not one that I’m aware of’, after he was linked with a pre-contract move for the versatile defender.

Iorfa has been been viewed by some as a potential long-term replacement for Mikael Lustig.
