Celtic are keen to add Shane Duffy to their ranks to shore up their defence.

The Irishman is believed to have held talks with Neil Lennon's side with a view to a potential loan switch from Brighton.

The Hoops manager has made no secret about his desire to strengthen and Duffy, 28, fits the bill.

Reports suggest Celtic face competition from the likes of West Ham and Burnley for the centre-half.

Duffy starred for Brighton 25 times last season in all competitions, scoring once.
