Hull City are interested in signing Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie in summer, according to the Daily Star.

Christie has been on loan from Celtic Park at Aberdeen this season where he has impressed and as a result he has reportedly caught the eye of Nigel Adkins.

However, it seems they face competition to sign the 23-year-old. Christie has just one-year remaining on his contract at Celtic, a deal Brendan Rodgers is keen to extend following his fine from at Pittodrie that has seen him bag seven goals and 13 assists in all competitions this campaign.

As such, Aberdeen are also keen on making the loan deal a permanent one when the transfer window opens.

The midfielder can play in a range of positions across the midfield, mostly playing as a right-winger in his career during spells at Inverness and Celtic, but he has played in attacking midfield under Derek McInnes, a position City already have plenty of options in.

His form for the Dons has seen him earn a call-up for the Scotland squad this season, and after making his international bow in November against the Netherlands, he earned his second cap for his country in their 1-0 win over Hungary on Tuesday.
