Time to look at Celtic players now they don’t have Champions League money
Spurs looking to take advantage.

Tottenham are said to be plotting a January move for Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney. Spurs were among a host of Premier League teams to show interest in the Scotland international over the summer but — like Everton and Bournemouth — were put off by Celtic's £25million asking price. Celtic have since been knocked out of the Champions League and their qualifying defeat by AEK Athens was a blow which will cost the club millions of pounds.

The Turkish defender signed a five-year contract on deadline day but had to wait for approval.

Burnley will launch a £15 million bid for Nicolas Pepe in January, after missing out on summer targets including Matt Phillips of West Bromwich Albion, the Sun on Sunday reports (August 19th, page 60).

The newspaper says Burnley's interest in Pepe, who plays in France with Lille, was delayed as Sean Dyche tried instead for players with Premier League experience.

TMvalue £10m, 23 years old, 8 caps for Ivory Coast 3 goals, 17 goals in 77 apps for Lille

Southampton still interested having a bid of £12.5m bid turned down in summer. Lille are ready to sell the wide man for the right price, and he began the new season well with a goal and an assist in the 3-1 win at home to Rennes.

Burnley need to stop farting around. Move Wells and Walters on now, send the Baggies a post dated cheque for £20 million and get Rodriguez up here straight after the New Year.

If no one wants them or they prefer our money they won’t go. Walters played in Turkey maybe he’ll do the same in Greece.
