Celtic in talks to sign 28-yr-old on a bargain, player wants a lucrative contract – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Celtic are in talks to sign the Sunderland striker Charlie Wyke.
According to Football Insider, the striker wants a four-year contract that will double his current wages.
There is no doubt that the Scottish outfit need to sign a quality striker this summer and signing Wyke on a free transfer could prove to be a major bargain.
The 28-year-old has had an impressive season with Sunderland and he managed to score 30 goals across all competitions last season.
The Sunderland forward is excellent in the air and he managed to score 17 headed goals last season. His arrival will add a new dimension to the Celtic attack.
French forward Odsonne Edouard has been linked with a move away from Parkhead and Wyke could prove to be a decent replacement.
Furthermore, experienced striker Leigh Griffiths is also out of contract this month and it seems unlikely that he will be offered a new deal at park head.
The 28-year-old is at the peak of his career right now and he could make an instant impact in Scotland if he moves to Celtic.
Apparently, Sunderland are keen on keeping the player at the club beyond this summer and they have offered him a long term deal. However, the striker is yet to accept the offer.
