The very latest Celtic transfer news this Friday morning as we deliver updates on Benjamin Nygren, James Penrice, Cameron Carter-Vickers & Sondre Ørjasæter.
Celtic target Nygren will leave FC Nordsjaelland
Celtic are interested in signing FC Nordsjaelland winger Benjamin Nygren.
According to The Scottish Sun, he could be available for just £2m because his contract at FC Nordsjaelland expires in six months.
Speaking a few days before Celtic’s interest was made known, Nygren confirmed he will leave FC Nordsjaelland.
He said: “It’s clear that there is a lot of interest. I have done extremely well this whole season. I have scored 15 goals and a few assists in a position as a number ten.
“It is a league and a team that has a lot of interest and eyes on them, and I have been a big contributing factor to us being as good as we have been.
“I will leave. I’m not thinking about the league, but more about coming to a club that shares my ambitions and that believes in me extremely much.”
Hearts left-back James Penrice scouted
The Daily Record claim Celtic have scouted Hearts star James Penrice, but that it doesn’t necessarily mean the Hoops will launch a bid for him.
Celtic need a backup left-back to Kieran Tierney, who just signed a five-year deal to return to the club he loves from Arsenal.
Greg Taylor is reportedly on his way to PAOK, but a Greek publication alleged that ‘negotiations have frozen’ for now.
67 Hail Hail exclusively revealed Celtic have Sassuolo’s Josh Doig on their transfer radar, as the club’s search goes on.
Cameron Carter-Vickers attracting Premier League interest
67 Hail Hail also understand that Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is wanted by a number of Premier League teams.
Our transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey told us: “I think there’s a good three or four Premier League clubs, from what I’m told, who hold a serious interest in him and I think Celtic might be up against it keeping him.
“As we know, every player has his price in this Celtic squad. And I think there’s a real danger that Carter-Vickers leaves.”
