Celtic Transfer Boost as £7 Million Rumour Debunked

With the January transfer window fast approaching, speculation surrounding Celtic is starting to pick up momentum. The club have been linked with a few players in recent weeks while some are rumoured to be on the way out.

Of course, Celtic have made a shaky start to the season. Naturally, the fans will hope that their best performers so far stay put at Parkhead beyond January.

David Turnbull has to be counted among them. Only Kyogo Furuhashi has scored more goals than him this season and the Scottish midfielder has been in and out of the side for the most part.

Turnbull's contract situation means that he is someone whose future at Celtic Park is uncertain. His current deal is set to run out next summer. He will be free to discuss terms with other clubs from January.

An unexpected rumour emerged recently regarding Turnbull. There has been speculation that AC Milan are a club keeping an eye on his situation at Celtic.

Of course, AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world. If the opportunity to join them presented itself, nobody would question Turnbull for considering it.

The majority of Celtic fans will be hoping for Turnbull to remain at Parkhead, even though there have been suggestions that an exit in January could bring in a £7 million transfer fee. There is some positive news regarding the midfielder's situation and the rumoured move to AC Milan.

According to The Celtic Way, links touting a £7 million move are wide of the mark and nothing more than speculation. Turnbull will not be moving to AC Milan in the January transfer window.

That is positive news for Celtic. Turnbull has been one of the club's best and most effective players in recent weeks.

He has scored in each of his last four league appearances. He also brings an eye for goal that no other Celtic midfielder does.

The next step for the club is to try and agree a contract extension with Turnbull. He might not have been playing much football in the previous two seasons when Ange Postecoglou was in charge, but he certainly is a part of Brendan Rodgers' plans.

With there being constant speculation surrounding the futures of Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley, Turnbull could find himself as a regular starter for Celtic in the future too.
