Dundee United midfielder Jeando Fuchs has revealed Celtic have been in contact with him about a potential move to Glasgow, as he comes to the end of his contract on Tayside.
Fuchs’ deal expires at the end of May, meaning clubs are free to speak to him about a potential pre-contract signing.
Speaking to Foot Mercato, translated by The Scottish Sun, the 2-cap Cameroon international said: “I am at the end of my contract in May. I’m waiting to see something concrete and see if I have a choice to make at that time. I am not in a hurry. We are well placed, we are having a good season. I don’t want to jump into another quagmire and regret again afterwards.
“There has been contact with Blackpool, Peterborough and Wigan. Stuttgart have taken information since the summer. There has been from Celtic and Rangers as well, but nothing more. A Premier League club as well. England would be good.”
Fuchs has been a stand-out in the Scottish Premiership this season. He was particularly impressive in the 1-1 draw with Celtic in Glasgow earlier this season.
Today, he was a bit rattled by the genius of Tom Rogic. Ordinarily, though he displays tenacity and tackling ability that is a big benefit in this league.
As a bargain signing, he’s an interesting prospect at 24. Could he be a viable squad option for Ange heading into the new year? Is he being sought as an alternative in case one of the manager’s Asian buys doesn’t work out?
One to keep an eye on over the coming weeks and months at least.
