Celtic transfer latest: Exit-bound ace ‘agrees’ terms at Euro club as Tottenham plot Hoops starlet raid
Here are some of the latest transfer headlines when it comes to Celtic
Ths international break is taking centre stage this week but transfer news continues to bubble away in the background with Celtic close to losing one key defender.
Manager Brendan Rodgers is expecting a busy summer window and it’s expected he will have to fend off interest in a number of his players including the likes of Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Reo Hatate who have all been linked with moves south of the border.
Fan favourite Kieran Tierney will return to his boyhood club later this month from Arsenal after agreeing a pre-contract in January and more new signings are expected to follow suit. In the meantime, here are the latest rumours:
How Kieran Tierney return will boost Celtic
Peter Grant insists the returning Kieran Tierney has proven he can fill a number of different positions for Celtic next season as he paid tribute to Greg Taylor, who is on the verge of departing the club this summer as a free agent.
He told Sky Sports: “I’m really looking forward to seeing him back in a Celtic shirt, but I must give Greg Taylor credit. He’s been outstanding at full-back. He’s been fantastic, very underrated, there’s no doubt about that. But Kieran gives you something different, a different type of player.
“He can play in numerous positions now. I think he’s learned that. He’s played centre-back, but overlaps as much as anyone. He’s very confident, a strong defender, great one-v-one and that’s only a positive for Celtic. But that’s meaning no disrespect to Greg because he’s been outstanding also.”
Taylor is reportedly edging towards the Parkhead exit door with Greek outlet Sportdog claiming the left-back has agreed terms on a two-year deal plus the option of an additional year with Super League side PAOK.
