Celtic want to sign Liverpool left-back Owen Beck on a permanent basis after impressing on loan at Dundee last season, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Celtic hope to beat several Championship clubs to a deal for the 22-year-old.
Celtic are in the market for a new left-back to help provide competition for Greg Taylor who remains their only senior option in the position.
Celtic keen on a deal for Liverpool youngster Owen Beck
Liverpool have set an asking price of £3million for the player who has only made three senior appearances for his boyhood club.
Beck impressed on loan at Dundee last season, making 28 appearances, scoring twice, and providing four assists during his time at the club.
Beck is regarded as a player with huge potential by Celtic and would help lessen the burden on Taylor after missing out on Wolves defender Hugo Bueno who joined Feyenoord on loan.
