Latest Celtic News: As Celtic make a move for a genius worth three million pounds, Brendan Rodgers may be able to secure a mind-blowing Luis Palma partner who can secure their title
There have been reports that the Hoops are considering making a move to acquire the Premiership marksman.
It would appear that Brendan Rodgers, the head coach of Celtic, is keeping himself busy this month. The Northern Irishman is looking to strengthen his playing team throughout the month of January through the transfer market.
According to a recent report by FootballScotland reporter Mark Hendry, the Hoops are looking to add a center forward, a left back, and a winger to their roster before the month comes to a close.
It was at the beginning of the previous week that the window of opportunity opened for business, and the Scottish titans have not yet made their first addition. Nevertheless, they are getting closer and closer to making a move for Nicolas Kuhn, a forward for Rapid Wien.
In light of the fact that Hendry said that the Bhoys ‘expect’ to secure a deal for the German attacker, the club would then be in need of a left-back and a striker.
Celtic are presently in first place in the Scottish Premiership table, and it is possible that they are looking to strengthen their team in order to ensure that they win the championship at the conclusion of the current season.
Lawrence Shankland, who is reportedly a transfer target, is one of the strikers who might be brought in to add to Rodgers’ firepower. Shankland has the potential to be a dangerous partner for Luis Palma at the top end of the park.
News on the transfer of Lawrence Shankland to Celtic
At the beginning of the month, journalist Graeme Bailey disclosed that Celtic are contemplating making a last-ditch effort to acquire the Scotland international player in the month of January.
The following report from HITC, on the other hand, disclosed that there is a great deal of rivalry to obtain his signing, and as a result, it might be challenging for the club to accomplish the transaction.
According to reports, Everton, Sheffield United, Burnley, and Crystal Palace from the Premier League are all interested in signing the captain of the Hearts team. Additionally, Southampton, Middlesbrough, and Hull from the Championship are all reportedly interested in signing him.
According to a report that was published by Football Insider in December, Hearts are prepared to demand a cost of at least three million pounds for their captain. It is currently unknown whether or not Celtic are willing to pay that amount for the center forward.
To add insult to injury, the publication stated that Glasgow Rangers have been keeping a close eye on the Scottish number nine, but the £3 million valuation appears to be putting their interest on hold until the summer for reasons related to finances.
It is possible that Rodgers will be able to get a dangerous partner for Palma in the final third of the field if the Hoops are successful in winning the competition for his signature over the next few weeks. Palma is an amazing creative winger, and Rodgers might sign him as a result of his tremendous goalscoring ability.
A breakdown of Luis Palma’s season’s output
At the beginning of the 2023–24 season, the Bhoys had the opportunity to acquire the remarkable forward from the Greek club Aris during the summer transfer window. Since then, he has proven to be an incredible asset for the team.
Since the gifted genius arrived at Parkhead and established himself as a vital player for the former Leicester manager, it has not taken him any time to adjust to Scottish football. He has been playing for Parkhead since the beginning of his career.
As of right now, he has scored five goals for Rodgers in 17 Premiership appearances, making him a decent scoring option for the team. Among the members of the team, only David Turnbull (seven), Kyogo Furuhashi (eight), and Matt O’Riley (ten) have scored more goals than he has.
Additionally, the elite player, who is 23 years old, demonstrated his offensive prowess on the most prestigious platform by scoring two goals in four starts in the Champions League earlier this season.
Palma’s ingenuity, on the other hand, has been his greatest asset and strength. In addition to creating 11 “big chances” for his teammates, the right-footed magician has contributed nine assists and 3.4 critical passes per game over his 17 league matches. He has also created 11 more opportunities for his teammates.
“So good for the club” – Celtics Fc transfer plan for Liel Abada has been finally been exposed, coincidentally with Brendan Rodgers’s aim to acquire Israeli and Nicolas Kuhn players.
It is not believed that the imminent arrival of Nicolas Kuhn is a forerunner to the possibility of Abada leaving the company either.
According to Celtic, Liel Abada is expected to play a significant part in the second half of the season, despite the fact that there is growing uncertainty regarding the winger’s future.
Since Hamas launched an attack on the player’s hometown at the beginning of October, which triggered the start of war in the Middle East, Boss Brendan Rodgers has had a number of heart-to-heart meetings with Abada. These conversations have taken place multiple times. Following the torrent of high-profile pro-Palestinian demonstrations from a part of Celtic’s support following Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza, a number of prominent Israeli voices have called on the 22-year-old player to find a new club. This comes after the Israeli government launched a ground invasion of Gaza.
Furthermore, concerns regarding Abada’s status have intensified with the start of a £3 million transfer by the SPFL winners to acquire the services of Nicolas Kuhn, a wide player for Rapid Vienna. The negotiations between the two teams continued yesterday. According to Record Sport’s understanding, Abada has never once requested to be sold or even to leave the club on loan until the situation in his native country has been stabilized. This is something that Record Sport has learned from his conversations with Rodgers.
Rodgers is currently making preparations for the upcoming push toward the championship, and Abada is playing a key role in the plans that he is making. Celtic are still hopeful that they will be able to negotiate a deal for German Kuhn, who is 24 years old, in the coming days. The Irishman is aiming to add to his attacking options rather than lose quality, and Celtic are also hopeful that they will successfully overcome some difficult opposition.
Markus Katzer, the sporting director of Rapid Vienna, offered his confirmation late last night, saying, “In principle, I don’t want to comment on any rumors.” With that being said, I can confirm that we do in fact have concrete offers on the table for Nicolas Kuhn; however, I do not wish to mention the clubs that are interested in him.
Celtic Fc moves takes some conditional steps to sign 21 years-old forward for Danish Superliga club Brøndby
According to sources who spoke with Football Insider, Celtic have begun negotiations with Brondby, a Danish club, in order to acquire the services of striker Mathias Kvistgaarden this month.
It is reported that the Hoops are still in the process of negotiating a contract to acquire the 21-year-old player, who has been a standout in the Danish top flight this season.
As a result of a large number of players leaving for the Asian Cup, including Hyeongyu Oh, Daizen Maeda, and Hyunjun Yang, the team managed by Brendan Rodgers is continuing to be active in the market this month. They are looking to strengthen their offense in order to compensate for the absence of these players.
According to information that was disclosed by Football Insider on the 28th of December, the Hoops have prioritized acquiring a striker, a central midfielder, and a left winger during the transfer window held in January.
Sources have indicated that Celtic are currently putting the finishing touches on a deal to acquire Nicolas Kuhn, and that the deal is now almost complete.
Kvistgaarden, on the other hand, has played both as a striker and as a winger throughout his career. This season, he has made 21 appearances in all competitions, and he has scored seven goals and assisted seven others.
Ever since the academy product made his debut in November of 2020, he has shown to be an indispensable asset for Brondby.
The new contract that Kvistgaarden signed with the club in May ensures that he will be under contract with the organization until the summer of 2027.
The outstanding player, who was born in 2002, has made 81 appearances for Brondby and amassed 21 goals and 12 assists. He was also instrumental in the team’s victory in the league championship game during the 2021-22 season.
Ever since he made his debut for Denmark’s under-18 team in September 2019, he has been a consistent member of the country’s young teams. His most recent appearance was for the under-21 team, which competed against Wales in a European Championship qualifying match.
Celtic, who are now in first place in the league, have an eight-point advantage over Rangers, who are in second place, before the Christmas break. They will next compete against Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup on January 21.
