Celtic must pay '£6m' to complete Alfie Devine deal - journalist Correspondent AUTHORITY Football journalist with experience at the Edinburgh Evening News and GRV Media; Masters graduate from the University of Derby. Celtic will have to pay a total package of £6million if they want to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s rising star Alfie Devine this summer transfer window. Devine was on loan at Preston North End last season, and the Championship club has an option to buy the Spurs youngster. Alan Nixon’s reported £6m fee for the 21-year-old would make him one of the most expensive signings in Celtic’s history. Nevertheless, as it stands, a transfer to Parkhead is dependent on what Preston chooses to do over the next two days.
