Celtic set to seal transfer for ‘captain’ imminently: Latest deal nears as cover sought for Hoops bound ace
Celtic are set to seal their latest summer deal in the coming days
Celtic are nearing an announcement for their latest summer signing, according to a report abroad.
The Hoops have already confirmed the returns of academy players Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan this summer, following spells at Arsenal and Aberdeen respectively. Now it looks likely that fresh blood is on its way with FC Nordsjaelland’s director of football Alexander Riget admitting they are on the hunt for an attacker amid Benjamin Nygren’s proposed Celtic move.
A Swedish international, it’s been reported he is close to a deal and now further reporting suggests the winger who has assumed leadership responsibilities could become a Celtic player within days. Tipsbladet state: “The chance that the captain will leave within the next few days is even very high, as Tipsbladet and a number of media outlets have recently reported him very close to a move to Scottish champion club Celtic, who want to buy him for a double-digit million amount now.”

As such, the hunt for a replacement is on. Riget said: “Our strategy is always to use our own young talents as much as possible, but if there are places in the team where we can see an opportunity for a qualitative boost while the talents grow, and that it is also in the form of a profile type that can support our own academy players, that is of course something we will look at.
We are looking for players in different places on the pitch where they can help increase our level and provide more stability. For example, we can see that there is great and early interest in offensive, young players.
