Celtic transfer update: Brendan Rodgers sanctions move for Liverpool defender
CELTIC boss Brendan Rodgers has reportedly sanctioned a move for Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom.
Andre Wisdom wanted by Celtic
That is according to the Scottish Sun, who claim Rodgers is willing to spend around £3million to sign the versatile Reds defender.
The 23-year-old is contracted at Anfield until 2019, but is likely to be sold this summer after being loaned out to Derby, West Brom and Norwich in recent seasons.
Wisdom has featured just 22 times for Liverpool's first-team and managed only 14 appearances during his most recent loan spell at Carrow Road this term.
Rodgers handed Wisdom his Liverpool debut back during his time in charge at Anfield and is understood to be a big admirer of the former England Under-21 star.
Brendan Rodgers wants Andre Wisdom reunion at Celtic
The Leeds-born defender can play as a centre-half and on both sides of the defence, and Rodgers believes he'll be vital in next season's title challenge.
Rodgers initially wanted 19-year-old full-back Joe Gomez, but Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is determined to keep the former Charlton youth at Anfield.
