Celtic suffer blow in their pursuit of forward who was valued at €5m earlier this summer
Celtic have suffered a blow in their pursuit of attacker Evann Guessand. According to GFFN, the talented 20-year-old has now signed a new deal with Nice until 2026. Guessand was made available for around €5 million, and Celtic were in talks with the French outfit to sign the centre forward. He is a talented young forward who was on loan at Lausanne in Switzerland last year. The youngster has a massive future ahead of him and could have been a quality long term signing for the Scottish giants. It seems unlikely that he will be sold anytime soon after the contract extension, and Celtic will have to switch their attentions elsewhere. The Hoops are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, especially with the future of Odsonne Edouard still very much in doubt. The Frenchman is the on...

Report: Rangers agree long-term deal to sell highly-rated 23-year-old player
Rangers have agreed to sell defender George Edmundson in the summer transfer window. According to reports from East Anglican Daily Times, Ipswich Town are closing in on the signing of Edmundson. It has been reported that a six-figure fee has been agreed with Rangers to sign the ‘highly-rated’ defender, and the deal is expected to go through shortly. The report claims that personal terms have been agreed with the player. It is expected to be a long-term deal, with just a few loose ends to complete before it is announced. Edmundson has dropped down the pecking order at Ibrox. Championship new boys Peterborough United and Derby County showed interest in signing the defender on loan, but Rangers have agreed to sell him permanently to Ipswich. He spent the second half of last sea...
Report: 28 y/o has reached agreement with Rangers, announcement in the coming days
Rangers defender Conor Goldson has agreed a contract extension at the Ibrox club. According to reports from the Sunday Mail, the Gers defender has committed his future to the Scottish Premiership champions earlier this week. The report claims that the 28-year-old centre-back, who was outstanding for the Gers last season, has penned a three-year deal at the club. The agreement between the player and sporting director Ross Wilson was reached last week, and the announcement will be made anytime next week. Goldson, who was the mainstay at the back for Steven Gerrard’s side last season, was entering the final year of his deal. Losing him for free would have been a catastrophe for the Scottish giants. Now that a deal has been struck, Goldson can now focus on his football and enjoy his ...
Crystal Palace may have just received a massive boost to sign 22-goal star this summer
Crystal Palace may have just received a massive boost to sign Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard this summer. Edouard has entered the final year of his Hoops contract, and the Bhoys are ready to offload him at the right price. Brighton are thought to be leading the race to sign the 23-year-old striker, with Rudy Galetti even claiming that they have made a formal bid of €25 million to sign him. However, the latest report from Argus suggests that Brighton are not at all interested in signing the striker. A well-placed source have told them: “Reports that keep emerging are completely false.” Leicester City and West Ham United were heavily linked with Edouard earlier this summer, but Palace may have a chance here to wrap up the deal for him. The Eagles are long-term admirers of Edouard, ...
Report: Leeds in advanced talks to sign player they have courted for a long time
Leeds United are in advanced talks to sign Celtic young talent, Leo Hjelde, according to reports from Football Insider. The Athletic journalist, Phil Hay claimed earlier this week that Leeds are looking at two defenders from Celtic – defenders Matthew Anderson and Leo Hjelde. The Whites, who have already signed Lewis Bate from Chelsea, are persisting in forming a junior pool in a number of positions who could make the grade in Marcelo Bielsa’s senior team in the future. The report now claim that Leeds are in advanced talks to sign Celtic rising star, and that an offer has been made already.

33 goals last season: Long-term Rangers target keen on Ibrox move this summer
Peterborough striker Jonson Clarke-Harris is thought to be keen on a move to Rangers this summer. According to Daily Record, the Scottish champions have been monitoring the 27 year old for a while now and he is a long-term target for them. Star striker Alfredo Morelos has been linked with a move away from Ibrox this summer and it is no secret that Rangers will have to bring in a top-class replacement. The 27-year-old recently scored 33 goals last season to secure Peterborough’s berth in the Championship next season. Clarke-Harris is a proven goal scorer and he could certainly replace Morelos next year if the Colombian decides to move on. Steven Gerrard cannot hope to go into the next season with Kemar Roofe and Jermain Defoe as his only striking options and the Scottish giants must look to...
Celtic looking to sign 19-year-old from Premier League giants this summer
Celtic are interested in signing the Manchester City defender Yan Couto. The 19-year-old was on loan at Girona last season and he was quite impressive for the Spanish second-tier side. According to Sky Sports, Celtic are looking to bring the Brazilian to Parkhead on loan for the next season. The 19-year-old is highly rated at Manchester City and he needs to play regularly in order to continue his development. The defender played 22 games for Girona last season and he will be hoping to build on that if he moves to Celtic in the upcoming season. Ange Postecoglou needs to improve his defensive options this summer and Celtic have been linked with a host of names in recent weeks. They have signed Carl Starfelt already and the Hoops are thought to be looking at a number of fullbacks now. A move ...
Chris Sutton heaps praise on 26-yr-old Celtic star after the 1-1 draw vs Midtjylland
Celtic were held to a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland in the Champions League qualifying second round last night. Summer signing Liel Abada gave the Hoops their lead on the 39th minute but the dismissal of Nir Bitton allowed the visitors to get back into the game in the second half. Anders Dreyer, who was instrumental to Bitton’s dismissal was sent off in the second half as well after earning a second yellow. The fans will be reasonably pleased with what they have seen so far. It was Ange Postecoglou’s first game in charge of the Scottish giants and his philosophy was quite evident. The Hoops tried to play out from the back with high tempo passing. The manager has had very little time to settle in and get his methods across to the players and it would be fair to assume that Celtic will o...
English winger admits he regrets leaving Rangers, expresses Ryan Jack shock
Sheffield Wednesday attacking midfielder Josh Windass has admitted he regrets leaving Rangers in 2018. The English forward joined the Scottish giants from Accrington Stanley in 2016, spending two seasons at Ibrox before joining Wigan Athletic. Windass scored 19 goals in 73 games for Rangers but confirmed during a Q&A session on Instagram that he wishes he had stayed longer. The 27-year-old was also asked which player shocked him most for how good they are, and he mentioned Light Blues defensive midfielder Ryan Jack. The 29-year-old has played in 130 games since joining Rangers from Aberdeen in 2017, scoring 11 times. Having seen the Gers win the Scottish Premiership title last term, Windass would have been wishing he was part of the celebrations. Steven Gerrard’s men also impressed in ...
Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann reacts as player seals Celtic move
Kyogo Furuhashi played his last game for J1 League club Vissel Kobe on Saturday after sealing a £5 million move to Celtic the previous day. New Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou recommended the 26-year-old Japan international to the Scottish giants as he knows him well from his three and a half years managing Yokohama F Marinos. Furuhashi is set to link up with Celtic ahead of the new season, and Kobe midfielder Andres Iniesta has sent the forward his best wishes on Instagram. Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann has also reacted to the Japanese star’s move. Sportslens View Furuhashi led the J1’s scoring chart prior to his departure, bagging 14 goals in 20 league appearances. He has been tipped to walk straight into Celtic’s starting XI, but adapting to a new league and culture could make hitting...
Rangers reportedly to blow EPL club out of water with mouthwatering deal for defender
Rangers are interested in bringing veteran English centre-back Gary Cahill to Ibrox and hand him a £35,000-a-week contract, according to The Sun. The 35-year-old is out of contract at Crystal Palace, but the Eagles want him to stay and sign a new deal. However, while Rangers are ready to meet his demands, Palace’s offer is less basic cash, with extras for appearances. Sportslens View Cahill has nothing else to prove in England having won it all with Chelsea, and a move to link up with former Three Lions teammates Steven Gerrard and Jermain Defoe at Rangers could be appealing. The Scottish Premiership champions are giving the defender a chance to add to his medals and also play in Europe, with two qualifying rounds between them and a place in the group stages of the Champions League. Ranger...
