# Celtic bid for Newcastle target Jack Hendry

Celtic have lodged a £500,000 bid for Dundee defender Jack Hendry, who has been courted by Newcastle recently.

The Magpies, Southampton and Crystal Palace have all been keen to land the promising defender but according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5223859/Celtic-make-500-000-bid-Dundee-defender-Jack-Hendry.html), the Scottish champions have opened the bidding with an offer worth £500,000.

Hendry has been in impressive form for Dundee this season and is held in high regard at the club.

He is showing promising signs at the back and has caught the eye of several sides across the United Kingdom.

[Celtic](https://readceltic.com/) boss Brendan Rodgers is understood to be an admirer of Hendry’s qualities and has been keeping a close eye on him since his side took on Dundee earlier on this season.

Newcastle are likely to be busy in the new year as Rafa Benitez seeks reinforcements in a bid to stay in the Premier League at their first attempt.
