Crystal Palace line up opening bid for Celtic star

Crystal Palace are interested in a move for Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong, according to the Express.

The 26-year old Scotland international is reported to be stalling on signing a new deal with the Hoops, which the Eagles are aware of, with Director of Football Dougie Freedman a big fan.

Celtic would like to keep Armstrong, but manager Brendan Rodgers has warned Armstrong he won’t let him run his deal down like he did last time before committing.

Armstrong’s current deal expires next summer, meaning the Bhoys may be forced to cash in if he refuses to commit soon.

Freedman has alerted Roy Hodgson to Armstrong and a bid in excess of £4million is expected to be submitted to start negotiations.

Southampton are also said to be long-time admirers of the former Dundee United man.
