, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Beck, 22, is Celtic’s number one target, but a deal for the defender isn’t “cut and dry”.
that Celtic want to sign Liverpool left-back Owen Beck permanently, but face stiff competition from several Championship clubs. Liverpool has yet to decide whether to cash in on Beck but may be more inclined to sell the Welshman if a buyback clause is added to the deal.Celtic are in the market for a new left-back to help provide competition for Greg Taylor who remains their only senior option in the position.
Beck is an attacking left-back with strong crossing and dribbling abilities—he provided four assists and made 57 successful crosses in 28 appearances during his loan spell at Dundee FC last season.Liverpool have set an asking price of £3 million for the player who has only made three senior appearances for his boyhood club.
