Celtic linked with move for Black Cats striker

Celtic have been linked with a move for Sunderland striker Danny Graham, an apparent favourite of the new Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 30-year-old is set to be a free agent and has previously played under Rodgers at both Watford and Swansea.

Graham has scored seven goals in 18 appearances during his most recent loan spell at Championship side Blackburn but failed to score in 12 other appearances for the Black Cats.

Since his £5 million move to Sunderland in 2013, Graham has made 42 appearances, scoring one goal and he has also provided four assists.

With the Black Cats seemingly willing to let him leave for free, the Daily Mail suggest that Rodgers wants to make Graham one of his first signings this summer.

However, Graham is currently earning £35,000 a week at Sunderland, and will need to take a pay cut if any move north of the border were to materialise.
