Celtic told Ryan Fraser won't cost a fortune but champions still to bite on Newcastle winger NUFC
The former Scotland ace has been offered to the Hoops and a host of clubs in England as Magpies gaffer Eddie Howe is keen to get out-of-favour 29-year-old off the books. Celtic are considering making a move with Brendan Rodgers keen to bolster his attack. But Fraser’s bumper wage package on Tyneside could still prove to be a major stumbling block – with the flying machine understood to be pocketing more than £60k per week and almost two years remaining on his contact.
Fraser was part of Howe’s plans when he initially arrived in the North East but drifted out of the picture as the Saudi-owned club’s recruitment drive was ramped up. And the Scotland cap has been left stuck in the Magpies bomb squad and training with the kids since March. The highly-rated 23-year-old headed to Glasgow on Monday where he’s set to undergo a medical with a view to being on board before the weekend’s Viaplay Cup clash at Kilmarnock. Rodgers is keen to replace departed Carl Starfelt and is sweating on the fitness of Cameron Carter-Vickers after the centre back suffered a set back in Sunday’s 3-1 Premiership win at Aberdeen.
