Celtic want McKenzie too, and have been pursuing him for some time, meaning they’re watching developments closely.

There are fears that McKenzie’s move to Belgium could yet fall apart, and if that happens, then Genk will turn to Davies instead.
Preston would allegedly take £5million for Davies given that he can walk away for nothing with his contract ending this summer.
The futures of Davies and McKenzie now seem intertwined, with one possibly heading to Belgium and one to Scotland; which is which remains to be seen right now though.
