Celtic and Rangers are reportedly interested in signing Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill during the upcoming January transfer window. Brownhill, who joined Burnley from Bristol City in January 2020, has become a key player for the Clarets, contributing 16 league goals in 89 appearances over the past three seasons. This season, he has already scored five goals in the Championship, highlighting his consistent performance.
As Burnley’s captain, Brownhill’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season. The club is eager to secure his future, but the midfielder has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including West Ham United, Fulham, and Brighton. Celtic and Rangers have also expressed interest, potentially setting up a competitive pursuit for his signature.
For Celtic, Brownhill’s experience and leadership could be valuable assets as they aim to maintain their dominance in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers, currently trailing in the league, may view Brownhill as a key addition to strengthen their midfield and bolster their title challenge.
Burnley faces a challenging decision: retain their captain or capitalize on his value before his contract expires. The outcome of this situation will be closely watched by all interested parties as the January transfer window approaches.
