Celtic Revive Striker Hunt and Target New Faces

Kasper Hogh Re‑emerges as 25‑Year‑Old Target

Celtic have rekindled interest in Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh after the club missed out on the 25‑year‑old Dane in January. The Scottish giants are now preparing a fresh bid for the player, who has impressed with his aerial ability and pace. This renewed pursuit shows Celtic’s desire to strengthen the front line ahead of the next campaign.

Having already been linked earlier this season, Hogh’s situation remains fluid as Bodo/Glimt look to evaluate offers. The club’s scouting department appears confident that a deal can be arranged, given Hogh’s potential to fill a missing piece in Celtic’s attack. If successful, the signing would add a dynamic option to a squad that has been busy reshaping its attacking options.

Hassan and Engel: Celtic’s Double Whistle on Wingers and Midfield

Further to their forward reinforcements, Celtic have submitted a second “huge” offer for Oviedo and Egypt winger Haissem Hassan. The latest proposal underscores the club’s ambition to bring the 23‑year‑old to Scotland, despite interest from other clubs. A successful signing would provide depth on the flanks, complementing existing wingers.

While the winger chase continues, Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention to Celtic midfielder Arne Engels. The English club see Engels as a talent who can add creativity to their midfield engine. If Celtic were to accept a bid, it would signal a shift in the squad’s balance, potentially freeing resources for other arrivals.

Kyogo Furuhashi Eyes Return Despite Contract Hurdle

Sources in Japan indicate that Kyogo Furuhashi has his heart set on returning to Celtic for a second spell. The 31‑year‑old striker currently remains at Birmingham City, where he has two years left on a lucrative contract. Negotiating a release would require balancing the two clubs and potentially a salary reduction.

Furuhashi’s arrival would bring proven leadership and goal‑scoring experience to the Celtic frontline. His desire to return reflects personal ties and a desire to finish his career with a club he knows well. The board will need to assess whether the financial commitment matches his pedigree and the club’s overall strategy.

Manchester United’s Radek Vitek Ready for Celtic Move

Celtic have received a significant boost in their pursuit of goalkeeper Radek Vitek, with the 22‑year‑old Manchester United shot‑stopper declaring he is prepared to leave Old Trafford. Vitek’s willingness to move opens a clear pathway for Celtic to address their goalkeeper concerns with a young, promising talent. The club’s medical staff are reportedly satisfied with his skills and potential.

If completed, the deal would provide Celtic with a reliable alternative to their current number one, adding competition in the locker room. Vitek’s move would also signal a trend of promising youth leaving Manchester United for new challenges. This could be a catalyst for other Celtic targets to consider a switch.

Aaron Malouda – Celtic Sought, Basel Signed

French winger Aaron Malouda, who had been scouted by Celtic, has instead agreed to join Swiss outfit Basel from Azerbaijan’s Sabah. The 28‑year‑old’s switch highlights the competitive market for versatile attacking talent across Europe. While Celtic will miss out, the move reinforces the broader narrative of player mobility this transfer window.

Basel’s acquisition adds depth to their attacking ranks, and the Swiss club will benefit from Malouda’s experience in higher‑profile leagues. Celtic’s decision to pull the plug on the deal may free resources for other priorities, such as securing their striker targets. The outcome underscores the fluid nature of the current market.
