United set to swoop for £15 million Hoops star !

Newcastle are reportedly trying to sign Celtic midfielder Aiden McGeady according to reports in the Daily Record today.

The Irish international has made over a hundred appearances for the Hoops since breaking into the first team in 2004 and has managed more than twenty goals in that time. He also has 17 first team caps for Ireland under his belt.

The speedy left winger has supposedly attracted the attention of several Premier League managers including that of Newcastle's Kevin keegan.

It is thought though that the Glasgow side will not even consider offers of less than £12 million for the 21 year old. Personally I would love to see McGeady in the Premier League, I think that outside Celtic and Rangers, the SPL is too poor a league for a player of his quality.
