Celtic join race for goalscoring midfielder

Celtic have reportedly joined Crystal Palace and Bristol City in the race to sign Gillingham midfielder Bradley Dack, according to a report from Andy Stockhausen of the Bristol Post.

New Hoops’ manager Brendan Rodgers is apparently keen to add more goals from midfield and after he was unable to complete a deal to sign Chidiebere Nwakali on loan from Manchester City, he’s apparently identified Dack as they next target on the list.

The 22-year-old was voted as the League One player of the year last season after scoring 15 goals in 44 appearances for the Gills.

The League One club are resigned to losing their star man but are looking for a fee of around £2.5million due to the number of clubs interested in signing him.

If Celtic are to make a move for Dack, they might need to act quickly as Bristol City have already made contact with Gillingham this summer after having a bid of £1.8million rejected in January.
