Dundee United's Will Ferry on Celtic's Transfer Radar

Dundee United's Will Ferry is on Celtic's transfer radar, joining James Penrice on the list of potential left-back options to provide cover for Kieran Tierney. The Hoops are looking for another left-sided option to fight it out and provide cover for the Scotland international.

What's the Situation?

Ferry has been a standout for Dundee United over the past two seasons, with impressive stats that put him right up there with anyone in his position in the Scottish Premiership. The 25-year-old Republic of Ireland international is also going into the final year of his contract, which has sparked growing interest in his services.

Why is Celtic Interested?

Celtic are looking to strengthen their left-back position, and Ferry's impressive form has caught their attention. The Hoops are also considering other options, including AEK's James Penrice, who has options in England as well.

What Comes Next?

Dundee United chiefs are aware of the interest from Celtic, but there has been nothing formal at this point. Ferry has already turned down a £1.7 million move to a Czech club earlier this month, and it remains to be seen whether he will consider a move to Parkhead.

As of now, Dundee United are sitting 9th in the Premiership, with 33 points from 33 games, and a recent form of WLWWL. They have scored 34 goals this season, conceding 53, and are 37 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the title race.
