Reporter drops major Celtic news on Owen Beck with permanent bid possibility

Celtic appears to be stepping up their efforts to become Greg Taylor’s rival in their search for a left-back this window.

When it comes to offloading important players, January can be a difficult month for many teams. That being said, it can also be a good time to acquire targets when they become available and get rid of marginal players—something Celtic is eager to accomplish.
During his initial tenure at Parkhead, Brendan Rodgers had a practice of making sure that two exceptional players competed for each position.

To be honest, the season hasn’t lived up to the hype thus far. The Irishman has repeatedly urged “quality” players to join the Scottish champions, and there are rumors that he is becoming more involved in the hiring process.

With the arrival of Nicolas Kuhn earlier this week, Celtic are reportedly looking to add a left-back and a striker this transfer window.

Though nothing has materialized in terms of personnel passing through the door thus far, there have been a number of names floated as possible choices for both sections; this could be about to change.

Update on Owen Beck’s transfer to Celtics: potential permanent bid

After an outstanding loan spell at Scottish Premiership team Dundee, Owen Beck is starting to become a familiar name among the Parkhead crowd as rumors persist that the Welsh teenager may move north of the border.

Now, should Liverpool decide not to field the 21-year-old before the end of the month, Celtic may launch a permanent bid for the player, who has been called up to the senior international level for Wales, according to Daily Record reporter Scott Burns.

Joe Gomez has filled in at left-back while Scotland captain Andrew Robertson and Greek full-back Kostas Tsimikas recover from injuries. If Beck plays for the Reds, he won’t be able to transfer to the Hoops because he has already played for two teams this season.

Owen Beck’s connections with Celtic became stronger

These days, it’s difficult to confirm anything before a transfer is finalized; that being said, Beck showed great promise at Dundee and has the ability to seriously challenge Taylor for the left back spot.

The Liverpool youth player, who made 20 appearances at Dens Park in all competitions and contributed two goals and two assists, showed off his skill on Tayside [Transfermarkt].

In response, Sofascore notes that the Welshman received a median match rating of 7.42/10, demonstrating his proficiency at the Scottish Premiership level. During his tenure at the Dee, he averaged 2.9 successful tackles, 2.5 clearances, and 1.3 interceptions per game.

If a buyer can be found, Alexandro Bernabei appears to be a strong contender to depart Parkhead this window, which would allow Beck to reach Glasgow before the market door closes.
