Celtic eyeing loan move for Everton FC’s James Vaughan

James Vaughan

JAMES VAUGHAN could become the latest player to depart Everton during this month’s transfer window with Celtic keen on signing the striker.

The Scottish Premier League leaders are intent on pressing ahead with negotiations over capturing Vaughan on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Everton would most likely ask for a loan fee before allowing the 22-year-old to make the move north of the border.

Vaughan made his first appearance of the season for David Moyes’s side on Sunday when he emerged as a 74th-minute substitute during the 2-2 Merseyside derby draw at Anfield.

The forward spent more than three months on loan at npower Championship side Crystal Palace earlier this season, scoring five goals in 14 appearances.

Despite Celtic’s interest, new Palace manager Dougie Freedman still wants to take Vaughan back to Selhurst Park on a permanent deal but would have to increase his £850,000 valuation of the player.
