All of the latest Celtic transfer news this Wednesday morning including the latest on Jakob Breum, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Johnny Kenny.
FC Twente ahead of Celtic in the race to sign Jakob Breum
Go Ahead Eagles told Celtic that Jakob Breum would be worth £5m after rejecting an offer just over the £1m mark earlier in the year.
Celtic have upped their offer for Breum to £1.75m and it has been rejected once again.
Now, it seems that the Bhoys have fallen ahead in the pecking order after Eredivisie side FC Twente tabled a higher bid than Celtic for Breum.
It’s unknown if the Twente bid has been accepted or not but it could mean that the Hoops miss out on another wide target.
Celtic want Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan
Manchester City and Celtic have formed a strong connection over the years when it comes to the Hoops developing their young talents.
Jason Denayer and Patrick Roberts are two big success stories and now Brendan Rodgers wants to sign Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan.
Anthony Joseph confirmed Celtic were in talks to loan Simpson-Pusey and the 19-year-old, who is highly-rated by Pep Guardiola, could move to Glasgow to provide competition for the current centre-back options and some regular first-team football.
Bolton not giving up hope on Johnny Kenny transfer
Johnny Kenny has looked electric in pre-season so far and many believe he could be the starting striker this season.
Kenny was wanted by Bolton Wanderers earlier in the window and the possibility of loaning out the Ireland international wasn’t ruled out.
Bolton fans want their club to sign Kenny and have demanded that they pay up the reported £1m asking price to bring him south of the border.
New arrival Shin Yamada impressed in his debut and could be the new third-choice striker, potentially leaving Kenny’s days at the club numbered.
