Ipswich Town and Norwich City, as well as Scottish Premiership powerhouse Celtic, are all reportedly interested in signing the young player this summer. Ipswich Town secured their spot in the Premier League for the upcoming season after earning promotion from the Championship under the management of Kieran McKenna.

McGinlay, aged 17, is seen as a promising talent in the sport, and his current team might struggle to retain him in the coming months due to interest from English clubs. The Daily Record reports that he underwent a trial at Ipswich Town last year, and they have been monitoring him closely since then, potentially considering making a move for him now. Nonetheless, they are not alone in the pursuit, as Norwich City and Celtic are also vying for his signature.

As Ipswich Town considers their options for the upcoming transfer window, they may view McGinlay as a prospect for the future. It’s crucial for the Tractor Boys to make astute recruitment decisions as they aim to compete in the top flight. McGinlay wouldn’t immediately join their first-team but would probably join their development squad with hopes of progressing to the senior level in the future.

Celtic has also shown interest in McGinlay, especially as they strive to clinch the title ahead of Rangers under Brendan Rodgers’ management. Joining Ipswich Town would be particularly enticing at this moment, especially for a young player, given their unexpected promotion.

Norwich City presents another appealing option, although uncertainty surrounds the league they’ll compete in next season, which affects their current transfer strategies. The playoffs are unpredictable, and they’ll need to perform at their peak to overcome a Leeds United team brimming with attacking talent.
