Celtic boss Martin O'Neill made a trip to Deepdale in April, where the Spurs academy standout provided an assist in a 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers. O'Neill, who was considering the possibility that he might not remain as Celtic boss beyond the season, intimated that Devine had impressed him. O'Neill explained that he went to the match because the club should still be looking at players and also because he knows Preston director Peter Ridsdale. When asked about the player, O'Neill endorsed Devine without publicly naming him. He added that it was someone he thinks could be good, but the new manager might feel differently, and that it is at least someone who can be presented for consideration with the confirmation that they were scouted.

Celtic are now prepared to increase their interest, with Tottenham's transfer activity potentially creating an opportunity for a move. Tottenham would be open to letting him leave permanently for the right offer. Devine is a low priority on their list of options and Spurs are prepared to approve a permanent move.

Alfie Devine’s future is uncertain because Preston North End has not announced a permanent deal for the Tottenham midfielder. Devine’s agents have strong links with both Spurs and Celtic, and it is uncertain if Celtic will now attempt to sign him. The fee under discussion is approximately £4.5 million, rising to £6 million, an amount that is within Celtic's financial means if they believe Devine can become a key part of the midfield. A deal of this nature would require significant commitment from the club. It has not been reported that Celtic has made a bid at this stage. Since Devine has not yet been announced by Preston, it is expected that the next few days will clarify if Celtic's interest intensifies.
