Celtic are reportedly interested in defender Dylan Crowe from Ipswich Town.

According to the Daily Mail, the Bhoys and RB Leipzig are both keen on the 18-year-old.

It is understood that Huddersfield Town have had a £300,000 offer rejected for him, as Ipswich want £500,000 in compensation fee for a player that will have his contract expire in the summer.

Crowe is a highly-rated teenager that is yet to make a first-team appearance in the game, but made an impact at youth level and tipped for a bright future.

He’s an England Under-20 international and his contract at Portman Road expires this summer.

TBR’s View:

Crowe is a right-back by trade, but he’s shown versatility to play in midfield too at youth level.

He’s an unknown talent that the Scottish giants are eyeing, but it looks like they are way behind potential suitors Huddersfield.

Neil Lennon needs to fix his right-back area going into the new season following the exit of loanee Jeremy Toljan, but surely the Ipswich flyer isn’t ready yet for Parkhead.

He could be an interesting investment for the Scottish giants, but they need a proven performer at full-back if they are to make inroads in Europe next season.
