Celtic is reportedly setting sights on Dundee midfielder Luke McCowan, as the Scottish Premiership champions aim to strengthen their squad this summer.
The 26-year-old has caught the attention of several clubs, thanks to his impressive early-season performances, scoring two goals and providing an assist in the first two league games, and adding another goal and three assists during the Premier Sports Cup group stages.
Hibernian has shown interest in McCowan and reportedly had a bid of £750,000 rejected. McCowan’s contract with Dundee is set to expire next summer, which may influence Dundee’s decision on any forthcoming bids.
Notably, McCowan’s Scottish nationality is an added advantage, helping Celtic meet UEFA squad requirements for homegrown players.
According to SunSport, Dundee is anticipating a formal bid from Celtic for the midfielder as the club looks to secure reinforcements for a demanding season ahead.
He’s maybe not the signing that will excite fans, but when you look at his performances and numbers, which include ten goals and five assists in the league last season, he could be a shrewd signing for the Hoops.
