Breaking News: Another “World-class” player could be tempted to sign for Celtic

He may cost the Hoops £15m.

A new transfer update this week suggests that one significant Celtic transfer target may suddenly be open to relocating to Parkhead.

Rumours of a Celtic transfer

After losing their previous two games in the Scottish Premiership, the Hoops have been winning again recently. On the weekend, they defeated Motherwell late in the game, and on Wednesday night, they crushed Dundee 7-1.The Rangers are still ahead of Brendan Rodgers’ team at the top of the table, and it appears like the title fight will be decided at the very last minute.

This follows a recent £120 million infusion.

Even if Rodgers is preoccupied with issues on the pitch, it appears that Celtic chefs are already keeping one eye on the transfer market. Given that the money appears to be available, recent sources have even claimed that the Hoops might smash their transfer record with a single acquisition this summer.

Adam Idah, who is currently on loan from Celtic, is reportedly amenable to a long-term move, while Patrick Casey, a young player from Charlton Athletic, is also being considered.

The club’s main objective, though, seems to be a new custodian, and Caoimhin Kelleher of Liverpool is a strong contender.The Reds’ keeper is someone Celtic “would love” to get, although prior reports suggested it could be difficult to convince him to move to Scotland.

Kelleher will provide an update to Celtic.

Kellogher might be persuaded to sign with Celtic because of “the prospect of regular first-team football north of the border,” according to a recent HITC update. The manager appears to be a huge fan of Kelleher, who is reportedly very high on Rodgers’ wishlist, but a deal may cost as much as £15 million.

A new first-choice custodian is required because Joe Hart is expected to retire at the end of the current campaign. According to the source, the club has also observed Ugurcan Cakir of Trabzonspor.

Although Allison has recently been Jurgen Klopp’s first choice at Anfield, Kelleher has been a regular player in domestic cup tournaments. In the EL Cup final on Sunday, he shone for the Reds against Chelsea, earning Liverpool’s sixth major award in the process.

Teammate Virgil van Dijk has also praised Kelleher, saying on Sunday that “he should have got it (player of the match).” I believe I am one of his biggest fans.

“He is world class, as I have always maintained, and he delivered today once more. It’s encouraging to observe. He is a decent boy and a competent goalie, which is exactly what a team like Liverpool needs.

Over the weekend, Klopp also waxed poetic about Kelleher, saying: “Caoimh was incredible.” Such a polished performance. We have the finest custodian in the world and the best number two in the world, as I frequently remark. I’m overjoyed for him. Best of the bunch.”

The fact that Kelleher might suddenly be inclined to sign with Celtic is encouraging for the Hoops, and a deal is something to keep an eye on in the upcoming months.
