English Championship side, AFC Bournemouth are reportedly set to make a late move for two long-term Celtic targets, Ben Davies and Ben Pearson.
As reported by journalist Pete O’Rourke, the side who were relegated from the English Premier League just last year are looking to add the Preston North End duo before the end of the January transfer window.

Both players have been linked to a move to Glasgow for several weeks now. With both their contracts coming to an end in the summer, the Hoops were looking to strike up a pre-contract deal which would see them only have to pay a small fee to bring them to Parkhead.
This month has been a very quiet one for Neil Lennon’s side though and it doesn’t look like anything will be happening anytime soon.
So at this stage, the Cherries have a free run to strike up a deal with their fellow English Championship side and get a larger fee than they would if any of the two were to make their way north of the border.
