Celtic defender Jack Hendry is currently plying his trade out on loan with Belgian side Oostende, and his displays abroad have caught the eye of three Premier League sides.
According to the Daily Mail, Burnley, Brighton and Sheffield United are all interested in the 25-year-old. The report claims that the Hoops’ hierarchy will make a decision on the defender’s future this summer.
Hendry, who is thought to be on £8,000-a-week, has under 18 months remaining on his current Parkhead deal.
The Scot has made 22 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season for Oostende, who are also thought to be keen on making his loan move permanent.

Reports back in January suggested that Oostende were set to take up their option of making Hendry’s deal permanent for £1.75m, so Burnley, Brighton and Sheffield United may well be out of the running for the towering centre-back, should he be willing to stay in Belgium.
However, if Hendry wishes to return to Glasgow, we think his displays have warranted a place in the Hoops squad going forward.
He’s been Oostende’s fifth-best performer this season, as per WhoScored, and with Shane Duffy set to return to Brighton at the end of the season, Hendry could possibly come back to replace the Irishman.
Only time will tell where Hendry’s long-term future lies, but it seems as if he won’t be short of options.
