Defender tracked by Celtic

Celtic could be ready to make a move for Shrewsbury Town's highly-rated teenage defender Ben Crompton after he turned down a deal to extend his stay with the League One side. The Shrews offered the 18-year-old a short-term contract but the player is set to move on as he explores his options. It is reported that Celtic have been keeping tabs on the player which could see him brought into the club’s youth system. (Shropshire Star)

Aberdeen target joins Cardiff

Jak Alnwick has left Scottish football, agreeing a move to English Championship side Cardiff City. The goalkeeper has been a big player for St Mirren across the past two campaigns having joined following his release from Rangers. He was offered a new deal by the Buddies but has opted to move south, despite reported interest from both Aberdeen and Hibs. He said: “As soon as I heard that the club were interested I couldn’t wait to get here. I wanted to be playing in the EFL and it was the next step in my career.” (Cardiff City)

Four to leave United

Benjamin Siegrist and Kevin McDonald will leave Dundee United once their contracts expire. The Tannadice side were keen to keep hold of the former who has been such an important and impressive performer for the club in the past two Premiership campaigns. Adrian Sporle has already confirmed his exit, while Marc McNulty and Dylan Levitt will return to their parent clubs of Reading and Manchester United respectively. (Daily Express)
