SHANE DUFFY has told Brighton that his preferred destination this summer would be a move to Celtic, according to reports.

Irishman Duffy is on the Hoops' radar as well as West Ham, West Brom and Burnley.

And today the Daily Mail report that the defender has told Brighton that a move to Glasgow is his prefered option.

It is understood that Neil Lennon is keen to bring Duffy to Parkhead as both cover and competition for Kristoffer Ajer and Christopher Jullien.

However Brighton's expectation of a £2million loan fee could potentially scupper any deal for the defender.
