Latest Celtic transfer news update on 22 years-old IF Elfsborg Goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson as Brendan Rodgers has one new player in mind before january transfer deadline

Rodgers has one new player on the way, but he doesn’t seem ready to stop making deals in January just yet.

Since Celtic are interested in Hakon Valdimarsson, Elfsborg’s director of football Stefan Andreasson has said that a move for the player could happen this month.

Soocer has learned that the club is paying close attention to the goalkeeping situation because the leaders of the Scottish Premiership want to find someone to play alongside Joe Hart for the rest of the season. Brendan Rodgers is likely to look at his choices since the 36-year-old’s contract at Parkhead ends this summer. Reports say that Iceland’s number one goalkeeper Valdimarsson is on his radar.

There are also rumors that Aston Villa and FC Copenhagen are interested in the 22-year-old, but the Swedish team wants to keep him until the summer. But Andreasson, the head of the club, left the door open for a bidding war before the end of the month. When asked about the goalkeeper’s future by Fotbollskanalen, he said, “I think we have to deal with this talk until the end of January.” We are not in talks with any clubs about Hakon right now.

Celtic is also trying to improve their front line, and Lawrence Shankand will be one of the players they look at. Stephen McGinn, a football analyst, says that the winners of the Scottish Premiership could still make a move for the Hearts captain this summer.

Early this month, there were rumors that McGinn would be moving to the Rangers. He told Go Radio, “At one point, I thought it was a no-brainer for Rangers.” No one in this city is safe when one club goes after you. Everyone and their grandmother wants to know what’s going on. He must be glad to play football again.

“I believe Celtic require an extra striker.” Kyogo is the key man; I think he made that clear in the recent game against Rangers. But when Oh comes on with 20 minutes to go and they’re trying to win, they don’t have Lawrence Shankland’s ability to sneak in a goal. I’m sure that person has been talked about.”
