DAVID TURNBULL is the subject of negotiations between the Scottish Champions and the Fir Park side. The midfielder has been the subject of Celtic’s interest since last summer when he was even pictured in the Hoops. However, the Scottish Sun are reporting that the clubs are locked in talks.
Talks are expected to progress and Celtic are hopeful of clinching the deal for Turnbull that stalled last summer.
In what was the biggest transfer saga of last summer in Scottish football, David Turnbull to Celtic proved to be both frustrating and totally bizarre. A spat between the Motherwell, Celtic and Turnbull’s agent dominated headlines as statements came out detailing the progress. The deal seemed to have been lost by Celtic as newly promoted Norwich threatened to take the Scottish youngster to Carrow Road.
But then, Celtic came in and offered a deal that the player, agent and selling club were in agreement over, £3.25m. Turnbull was pictured beside Neil Lennon, Celtic had their man. Or did they?Midway through his medical, it became apparent that there was an issue to sabotage the deal. Turnbull had a rare knee condition, that had no symptoms. Instead of risking a potentially career ending injury by ignoring their discovery, Turnbull opted for the preventive surgery.
Hopefully Turnbull’s arrival doesn’t mean that Tom Rogic’s Celtic career comes to an end. With that said, Turnbull is a good signing with a lot of potential for the future. Aaron Hickey has also been linked with a move as the club look to tie up the best and brightest young Scottish talent.
