Celtic will look to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season.
With rumours that Mathias Kvistgaarden could make the move to Celtic still doing the rounds, it seems that the Celtic front line is set to be a matter of priority for Brendan Rodgers.
After Celtic sold Kyogo Furuhashi to Rennes, the Bhoys are yet to replace the Japanese talisman with Daizen Maeda picking up the goalscoring mantle from his fellow countryman.
However, it seems that plans are afoot to get reinforcements to the Celtic front line as Rodgers looks to the Swedish league for the answer to his striker problems.
Celtic and Rangers want Djurgarden’s Oskar Fallenius
According to Swedish media outlet FotbollDirekt, Celtic are looking at versatile Djurgarden attacker Oskar Fallenius.
The 23-year-old is predominantly a right-winger but can also play on the left wing, as a striker or attacking midfielder and on the left side of a midfield three.
Fallenius has 158 first-team appearances, scoring 34 goals and creating 20 assists in spells with Brondby, IK Start and current club, Djurgarden.
The young winger left Brondby to join Djurgarden in 2023 for just over £1.5m and with his contract set to expire in 2026, it seems that the Swedish club could be set to cash in on their forward.
Fallenius helped Djurgarden reach the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League where Chelsea knocked them out. Despite the winger helping to negotiate the quarter-final tie against Rapid Vienna, Fallenius was left out of the squad for the two-legged Chelsea tie.
Celtic ramping up summer transfer activity
It’s clear that from the last two days, Brendan Rodgers could be looking to get summer business done early.
The Celtic manager has already been linked to Veljko Milosavljevic as well as Kvistgaarden and the season has just ended.
With the summer just beginning, Celtic fans can look forward to weeks of transfer speculation as Brendan Rodgers looks to add fresh faces to his squad.
