Celtic looking to beat QPR to Liverpool transfer deal
Celtic are ready to make a move for QPR target, Owen Beck.
That though, is something that QPR surely have to make sure does not happen. After being linked with Frabotta, the fact they are now keen on Beck too, shows their desire for a left-back.
It would therefore, be a blow to miss out on not one but two options in a position they apparently feel they need to strengthen.
With talk around the future of Kenneth Paal this summer – who has been linked with Championship rivals Watford – there is a chance that will indeed be the case.
So if they are unable to do that, there may be questions about the club’s ability to get big deals such as Frabotta or Beck over the line.
If however, they are to do so here, that will show that QPR can work well in the market to get deals like this over the line.
This particular signing may be especially eye-catching if they can get it done ahead of a Celtic side who can offer him the chance to win silverware and fight in Europe this season.
Beyond that, Beck is a player who has shown great promise in coming through the ranks at Liverpool.
He has also won plenty of praise for efforts out on loan, not least with Dundee last season.

As a result, the left-back could also be a big asset to Cifuentes and co. on the pitch, if they do indeed win the race for his services.
So with that in mind, it seems as though QPR simply cannot allow Celtic to get one over them in the battle to sign Beck this summer, in the way West Brom were able to when it came to Frabotta.
