THE bookies have now slashed odds on Shane Duffy becoming a Celtic player.
The Brighton defender has been heavily linked with a move to Parkhead in recent days, with the likes of West Ham, West Brom and Burnley also rumoured to be interested.
But bookmakers Paddy Power now have Celtic as the odds-on favourites to secure his signature.
Parkhead boss Neil Lennon yesterday refused to discuss a possible move for Duffy in his press conference.
When quizzed about the Irishman, he said: "Look guys I keep repeating myself.
"I'm not going to talk about players until they are in the building.
"You get rumour here, sepculation there about player going, players coming in.
"I'm not prepared to comment on any other player who is affiliated with another club until they are sat next to me."
But if you believe the bookies, a deal now looks close.
Shane Duffy next club odds
Fulham - 20/1
Leeds - 18/1
Burnley - 13/1
West Brom - 6/1
West Ham - 5/2
Celtic - 2/5
