He’s talented’: Peter Grant reacts to Celtic possibly signing forward who scored twice v West Ham

Peter Grant was questioned whether Celtic should consider signing Bristol City attacker Tommy Conway.

The 21-year-old is a highly regarded player in the English Championship,

and his goals just eliminated David Moyes’ West Ham United from the FA Cup.

Tommy Conway scored the winning goal in the rematch at Ashton Gate, after scoring at the London Stadium.

When the Scotland U21 was suggested to Peter Grant, he described him as a ‘gifted lad’,

but he identified one big flaw in this potential acquisition for Celtic, as he told Go Radio.

Without even starting negotiations,

he believes a club like Bristol City would demand ‘£6-7 million’ for the player, leaving Celtic with no chance.

Those in the Parkhead boardroom are unlikely to push to

those levels because doing so would require them to shatter records.

Of course, if you could acquire a guy like Tommy Conway for money comparable to Matt O’Riley’s,

he might be worth considering, but otherwise, Peter Grant says no.

Tommy Conway joins Celtic

“He scored two, home and away,” Grant remarked of Conway’s FA Cup goals. “He is a gifted boy.

“Going for someone like Conway would cost you a lot of money. You’re talking about £6-7 million,

and you’ve had two good games. You’ve been on television. That is what it becomes.

“He is a gifted boy. There are a few lads in England who are excellent players,

but you have little hope of catching them.

Burnley is investing £30 million on a young guy who we’ve never heard of.

Celtic’s Search for a Striker

Unless something unexpected happens in the final week,

it appears like the club has opted against signing another forward.

Whether this is due to Brendan Rodgers’ satisfaction with his current situation,

a lack of suitable candidates, or simply the club’s desire to wait until the summer.

From now until the end of the campaign, someone like Hyeongyu Oh will be put to the test,

and he must respond to his critics.
