‘You can’t’ – Andy Halliday insists Celtic simply can’t sign 18-goal midfielder wanted by West Ham

August 7, 2025

There is an argument to be made that Celtic and West Ham United supporters are unhappy with their transfer business this summer.

There has been one link between the two sides this summer, and that’s Celtic academy player Daniel Cummings joining West Ham.

That was a free transfer for the London club, but could Graham Potter’s side now have competition from Celtic for another free transfer on the market?

Josh Brownhill left Burnley at the end of June, after helping Scott Parker’s side earn promotion to the Premier League last season, and now he is a wanted man.

67 Hail Hail revealed in November that Celtic are looking at Brownhill, as he was expected to see out his contract, and that has now happened.

But along with the champions of Scotland, it has been suggested that West Ham are also looking at Brownhill, after his 18 goals from midfield during Burnley’s promotion.

When Andy Halliday heard that Celtic could be adding another midfielder to their ranks, with Brownhill mentioned, he told Open Goal why the deal can’t happen.
