Report: Celtic identify 29-goal Spurs target as potential replacement for in-demand Odsonne
According to The Telegraph, Celtic have identified Wolfsberger AC striker Shon Weissman as a potential replacement should they lose Edouard Odsonne to an English Premier League club this summer. While the Hoops want to hold on to the Frenchman for next season’s 10-in-a-row bid, the likes of Arsenal are keen on him, and it could prove difficult to keep him beyond this term. Neil Lennon’s side are already preparing for Odsonne’s potential departure, and they are keeping tabs on Weissman ahead of a possible swoop. The Austrian Bundesliga star has bagged 29 goals in 30 appearances this season, including strikes against the likes of AS Roma and Borussia Monchengladbach in the Europa League, and he has already attracted Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester and ...
‘Rangers can cause Celtic problems next season’ – Sky Sports pundit makes bold claim
Rangers have been left aggrieved at the way the Scottish Premiership campaign ended. The SPFL stopped the season after the majority of the clubs voted in favour of the decision, with Celtic emerging league champions on a points-per-game basis. Rangers had a game in hand with eight other fixtures still left to be played, and they reckoned they could have caught up with the Hoops despite being 13 points behind. Steven Gerrard’s men will now focus on stopping Celtic from winning a consecutive 10th league title next season, and former Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes landing Ianis Hagi permanently gives his former side a realistic chance of stopping 10-in-a-row. “He’s prepared to risk and lose the ball, which I think is a big thing in football nowadays. There are too many people who are robo...
‘I’m surprised’ – Sky pundit quizzes Celtic’s decision, wants £70k-a-wk star signed & trio released
Former Celtic striker Charlie Nicholas has been left surprised with the decision of Hoops manager Neil Lennon to let go of Jonny Hayes and Jozo Simunovic following the expiration of their contracts. The Parkhead outfit are looking to make necessary squad changes ahead of next season’s 10-in-a-row bid, and Nicholas thinks the trio of Boli Bolingoli, Olivier Ntcham and Vakoun Bayo should be the ones to be shown the exit instead. The Sky Sports pundit has urged Celtic to sell the Frenchman in order to fund a permanent move for Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster if need be. “Celtic must pull out all the stops to sign Fraser Forster – even if it means making him the club’s highest earner. And if Olivier Ntcham has to be sold to finance the deal, then they should do it. Southampton pay F...

AC Milan planning talks with Celtic to sign 22-year-old star: report
AC Milan are understood to have sent an emissary to Scotland to discuss the possibility of signing Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic, Todofichajes claims. The Norwegian has established himself as a regular at the heart of the Hoops defence and his progress has caught the eye of several high-profile clubs including Real Madrid. According to Todofichajes, the Rossoneri are said to have joined the pursuit of the centre-back and they have supposedly sent an emissary to negotiate a deal with the Scottish champions. It is added that the San Siro outfit would ideally prefer to make a defensive addition on a free transfer (such as Paris Saint-Germain’s Thiago Silva) but they are tempted by the potential of Ajer. The Rossoneri currently have five central defenders in Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacch...
Leicester not interested in Celtic defender
Leicester City are not interested in signing Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic. The centre-back was a key figure for Neil Lennon’s team as they won their ninth successive Scottish Premiership this season. He was linked to the Foxes after Harry Maguire went to Manchester United last summer. But Caglar Soyuncu’s great form means Leicester’s need is not as great. While Leicestershire Live reports that the club do want to sign a defender, the source claims that 22-year-old Ajer is not their primary target. The player’s agent had previously suggested he was likely to leave in the summer, but Celtic boss Lennon is not eager to lose such an important player ahead of next season.

Pundit urges 24-yr-old PL attacker to join Celtic and ‘show everyone what a top player he is’
Former Premier League star and pundit Kevin Phillips has urged Bournemouth’s Jordon Ibe to join Celtic. The highly rated winger has had a frustrating spell with the Cherries and he needs a fresh start. He was a tremendous talent during his time at Liverpool but his development has stalled. It will be interesting to see how Ibe performs in Scotland, if he moves to Celtic. Phillips said to Football Insider: “Jordon has frustrated people. He has a load of talent but it has not quite worked out. He might go to Celtic, play week in, week out and winning football matches. “It is amazing when you play for a side that is winning games you do not get as many injuries or pick up as many strains because you want to play every week. “That could be a great move for him. Go and resurrect his career and ...
Celtic prepared to sign Fraser Forster from Southampton if he agrees to one condition: report
Celtic are prepared to sign goalkeeper Fraser Forster on a permanent basis from Southampton, provided he accepts a significant reduction on his salary, Football Insider reports. The England international rejoined the Hoops on a season-long loan from the Saints last summer and he has been their undisputed first-choice goalkeeper with 39 appearances in all competitions. The recently-crowned Scottish champions are definitely keen on signing him on a permanent basis but they are not in a position to cover the transfer fee and his wages at the same time. Forster is said to earn around £70,000-a-week and that is reportedly more than twice of the salary of the highest earners at Parkhead which include long-serving captain Scott Brown. Hence, Neil Lennon’s side have made it clear that Fraser ...
