# Celtic: Dundee make Griffiths loan bid

**Dundee have made a loan offer for Celtic striker Legh Griffiths, according to [Anthony Joseph](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1431255493155205126).**

### The Lowdown: Late transfer activity

Celtic have already been extremely busy this summer in regards to incomings and outgoings.

Dominic McKay has made [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) signings and appears to be closing in on a 10th in striker [Georgios Giakoumakis](https://twitter.com/YanniRamone/status/1431354513752039426).

The Hoops have spent over [£17m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) and have also recouped just shy of that amount, mainly due to [Kris Ajer’s switch to Brentford](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371).

Odsonne Edouard may seal a late exit with a number of sides [circling](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1431346089068843010), however, it appears as if Griffiths, who signed a contract extension earlier this summer, could also depart over the coming days.

### The Latest: Loan bid

Griffiths, described as [‘tremendous’ by Alex McLeish](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/alex-mcleish-praise-leigh-griffiths/), is at the centre of a late loan offer.

[Joseph](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1431255493155205126) confirmed on Friday afternoon that Dundee have made a bid to take the Scot on a temporary basis, shortly after Leo Hjelde’s move to Leeds was [announced](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1431255493155205126).

### The Verdict: Accept

Griffiths was reportedly on [£15,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/celtic/) last season, and although his new deal could be worth less, it makes sense to accept the offer from Dundee in the final days of the window.

He [hasn’t](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdaten/spieler/45611) kicked a ball in a competitive match under Ange Postecoglou and has featured on the bench just [twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdaten/spieler/45611).

With [Giakoumakis](https://twitter.com/YanniRamone/status/1431354513752039426) also coming in, that would push Griffiths even further down the pecking order, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the Hoops allowed the 31-year-old to depart before the end of the month.
