# Celtic: Ryan Christie wanted by Crystal Palace

**Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie, as reported by [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-wanted-crystal-palace-24453685).**

### The Lowdown: Christie’s Celtic career

The 26-year-old has been at Parkhead since [2015 after signing from Inverness](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/transfers/spieler/188077). He has gone on to make [142 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/leistungsdaten/spieler/188077) for the Hoops, scoring [40 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/leistungsdaten/spieler/188077) and registering [41 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/leistungsdaten/spieler/188077).

Christie, who was [hailed by Liam Gallagher](https://thecelticstar.com/oasis-superstar-singles-out-celtic-midfielder-for-praise/) last year after Scotland qualified for the European Championships, has won [five major honours at Celtic Park](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/erfolge/spieler/188077).

It seems as if he could well be on the way out of Parkhead, though, and a [former World Cup winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-vieira/erfolge/spieler/3183) seems to be a big fan of the Scot.

### The Latest: Palace links

According to The Daily Mail, as cited by [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-wanted-crystal-palace-24453685), Patrick Vieira will make Christie a priority target, with the Frenchman [being announced](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/news/patrick-vieira-appointed-as-manager/2021-07-03/) as the new manager at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

Christie first caught Vieira’s eye during the 45-year-old’s time back in his native France, and it seems as if the Eagles could now swoop for the Hoops midfielder.

### The Verdict: Sell

Should Palace come in with an offer close to Christie’s £6.3m [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/profil/spieler/188077) valuation, Celtic should not hesitate to take the money.

The 26-year-old has only [six months remaining](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-could-lose-ryan-christie-23977806) on his Hoops contract, so he could technically speak with Palace ahead of a free transfer in the New Year.

However, Palace need signings now after [11](https://twitter.com/GeorgeSessions/status/1410478334220378114) senior players became free agents recently, while Celtic could do with the money this summer instead of losing him for nothing in January.
