Celtic are reportedly interested in Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are desperate for him to be signed.

, the Bhoys are planning a move for the 19-year-old rising star and could face competition from Brighton.

The report details that the Scottish teenager is subject to a £1.2million bid from Celtic, but he is valued at around £3million.

It is understood that manager Neil Lennon wants to make the Motherwell ace one of his first signings this summer.

Turnbull has just enjoyed a brilliant breakout season at Motherwell, where he managed to become a first-team regular and impress in the top flight.

The central midfielder made 34 senior appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and supplying seven assists in return.

He certainly looks an exciting talent that can make a huge difference in the final third and is a workhorse in the centre of the park too.

A selection of Celtic fans on social media feel he’s the perfect target for them this summer and that there is every chance he could be a future star.

Here are some of the Celtic fans responding to the Turnbull speculation:

do whatever it takes to get this guy he is a player

Great wee player. Loves a tackle decent passer and scored around about 15 goals from midfield something we’ve missed since Armstrong went.

He’s had a cracking year .. also think he’s worth 2.5m in long run . Good age , knows what it’s all about and he would excel playing with Bain, Ajer, Jozo and KT at the back ??

I see ntcham going …

Others who might go, kouassi, bitton?

He’d be a decent addition but I’d see it best that if Celtic do buy him, loans straight back to Motherwell for another season

— PineappleUpsideDown (@pudpudboogie)

Probably need them if ntcham leaves hopefully bitton mulumbu out door aswel kouassi on loan maybe

— Danny Roddie (@DanyBhoy7)

I’d like to see him brought in but we also have Liam Henderson ???

— DINO BOVE (@DINOBOVE)

Looks like a cracking player. If he signs I reckon he will go back on loan for the season to well

Replacement for Ntcham
