I will not play again:Celtics former player rejected returning back to club

Celtic are believed to be interested in signing a “superb” former player to replace Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer, with Brendan Rodgers playing a big role.

Celtic linked with summer signings

The Hoops may be edging towards yet another Scottish Premiership title this season, as well as having a chance of winning a domestic treble, but that doesn’t mean new signings aren’t needed to take them up a gear moving forward.

En Avant Guincamp midfielder Kalidou Sidibe has been linked with a move to Celtic in the summer transfer window, being seen as a replacement for Jeffrey Schlupp, should he not seal a permanent move from Crystal Palace at the end of the season. In fact, they have reportedly tabled a £1.6m bid for his services.

Nantes winger Herba Guirassy is another player who has been mentioned as an option for the Hoops this summer, with the 18-year-old considered a long-term acquisition. He has scored twice in Ligue 1 this season, however, showing that he can already make an impact in a top league.

In terms of potential exits at Celtic in the coming months, there is reportedly concern that Carter-Vickers could decide to move on and enjoy a fresh challenge. The centre-back has been an influential figure since arriving from Tottenham, so Rodgers will be desperate to keep hold of him.

Celtic and Rodgers eyeing move to sign former star

According to a new update from The Celtic Star, Celtic are eyeing a move for Brentford centre-back and former Hoops ace Kristoffer Ajer, seeing him as a potential successor to Carter-Vickers, should he move on this summer.

In fact, Rodgers is said to have “been in the ear” of the 26-year-old more than once to bring him back to Parkhead, viewing him as a strong option to bolster his defence.
