# Celtic: Leigh Griffiths linked with Aberdeen

**Aberdeen have been linked with a move for Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths, as reported by the [Sunday Post](https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/celtic-transfer/).**

Scott Brown [recently agreed](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/25/scott-brown-to-leave-celtic-this-summer-for-aberdeen-player-coach-role) a summer switch to Pittodrie, and it now seems as if Griffiths could possibly be joining the midfielder under the Dons’ new manager Stephen Glass.

### Griffiths’ Celtic struggles

Griffiths has hardly featured for the Hoops this season and is [out of contract in just 14 months’ time](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/profil/spieler/45611).

He has started [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdaten/spieler/45611) Premiership fixtures under Neil Lennon during the current campaign. The 30-year-old has scored [six times in 732 minutes of action](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdaten/spieler/45611) but has only played [seven minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/45611/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/SC1/verein/371/trainer_id/12714) under interim boss John Kennedy.

### Transfer Tavern take

Based on this season, we feel as if this summer could be the right time to move Griffiths on. He is earning [£15,000 per week at Parkhead](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/celtic/), money which could be put towards a new addition in a summer rebuild.

Griffiths has been a brilliant servant to the club, making [256](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45611/verein/371) appearances and netting [122](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leigh-griffiths/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45611/verein/371) times. However, based on the last 12 months, it appears as if now could be the time for him and the Hoops to part ways.
