Celtic could reportedly be offered the chance to reignite their interest in West Ham midfielder Andy Irving, with reports from Claret and Hugh suggesting the Hammers are willing to listen to offers for the 25-year-old this summer.
The Scottish midfielder made 11 appearances for West Ham last season, ten of which came in the Premier League, alongside a single outing in the EFL Cup. Despite his contributions, Irving struggled to secure regular game time in Graham Potter’s side, which may now lead to a move elsewhere.
According to Claret and Hugh, a source at West Ham’s training ground has indicated the club would be open to offers for Irving, with the player himself reportedly keen to seek more consistent first-team football. Having only joined the Hammers in 2023 for a reported £1.5 million, any transfer fee this window is likely to represent good value.
The timing of the availability is interesting, with Irving making his full international debut for Scotland earlier this week. The midfielder came off the bench just after the hour mark in Scotland’s 4-0 friendly win over Liechtenstein, a milestone that highlights his growing profile.
Irving joined West Ham in September 2023 but was most recently linked with a move to Celtic in December 2024, when reports suggested the Hoops were monitoring his situation ahead of the January window.
With Brendan Rodgers looking to refresh the midfield ahead of the new campaign, Irving may once again emerge as a potential target, particularly as he searches for regular first-team football and could be available for a small fee.
Having built up his career with spells across Europe and previously in Scotland with Hearts and Falkirk, a return north of the border could appeal to both Irving and Celtic, especially as the Hoops look to strengthen the squad for continued domestic dominance and European progression.
The situation remains one to watch when the summer window opens, with West Ham seemingly prepared to sell Irving if a suitable bid arrives.
