Latest Celtic News: Hidden reason why Celtic Fc 23 years-old transfer target Sydney van Hooijdonk would miss the match clash vs AC Milan! would it be good or bad for Celtic

Celtic knows that their fans want them to make deals before the transfer deadline.

The first Scottish Premiership game of 2024 for Brendan Rodgers’ team was yesterday afternoon, and they beat Ross County 1-0. However, the Hoops weren’t completely safe on their way to three points.

Alistair Johnston scored the first goal early on with a shot that was deflected and past Staggies goalkeeper George Wickens. This was the crucial moment in front of a big home crowd.

Still, the effort made it clear that Rodgers’ team needs new players to add depth until next Thursday.

The Irishman gave a positive report on that front by saying after the game, “The plan is for there to be movement (on incomings).” Adding that person who can help our level and help us grow is important. We’ll find out in a few days, but I hope that’s the case.

Many big names have been linked with moves to the Scottish champs this window, but only Nicolas Kuhn has actually come in. It’s been a quiet few weeks in the east end of Glasgow.

Bologna’s lack of Sydney van Hooijdonk, a player Celtic wants,
Another big news story from Saturday night was that Sydney van Hooijdonk, a scorer for Bologna, was not even on his team when they played AC Milan at San Siro.

TNT Sports showed the game, and one of their commentators talked about his absence: “Sydney van Hooijdonk is the absent man up front; he’s not even in the squad, and it looks like a move to Celtic is on the cards.”

Throughout this month, Van Hooijdonk has been associated with a move to Celtic. He could leave his Serie A team on loan after they signed Santiago Castro from Velez Sarsfield [Fabrizio Romano].

The boss of Bologna explains why Celtic target Van Hooijdonk wasn’t included
Since then, Bologna manager Thiago Motta has talked about why the 23-year-old Dutchman wasn’t in his team for the final 2-2 draw. He said that the 23-year-old was sick with the flu and couldn’t play.

But he didn’t say that Van Hooijdonk couldn’t leave the club this window. He told Football Scotland, “We’ll see if he stays here in the end or not; the important thing is that he always trains to the maximum.”

The former Heerenveen forward has scored 92 goals in 197 games, so he definitely knows how to score. The Hoops are short on forwards right now because Hyeongyu Oh and Daizen Maeda are at the AFC Asian Cup [Transfermarkt].

Anthony Joseph, a reporter for Sky Sports, has made it clear that Celtic are “monitoring” his position, but they haven’t made an official offer for him yet. Hold on tight, because this one looks like it could go all the way to the wire.
