Celtic in talks to sign 26-goal star, Postecoglou has called him up personally
Celtic are currently in talks to sign the Greece international Georgios Giakoumakis this summer. According to Daily Record, a fee of around £2.5 million could be enough to sign the 26-year-old. Giakoumakis was in outstanding form in the Dutch league last season and he managed to score 26 goals in 30 league appearances for VVV Venlo. His side have been relegated to the second tier of Dutch football and he deserves to play at a higher level. A move to Celtic would be ideal for the striker who is at the peak of his powers right now. Celtic could provide him with the platform to showcase his talents at a higher level and he will be able to play European football with them as well. French striker Odsonne Edouard has been linked with a move away from Parkhead this summer and the 26 year old Gree...
Report claims how Rangers star is feeling after claims he has been told to leave Ibrox
Rangers defender Nikola Katic has been told that he has no future at Ibrox, according to the Scottish Sun. The report claims that the Croatian defender will be sold before the end of the transfer window. The 24-year-old missed the whole of last season after suffering a knee injury in training, but he has recently claimed he is raring to go this time. However, he is not in Steven Gerrard’s first-team plans, and the club are looking to sell him. Katic joined on a four-year deal from Slaven Belupo in 2018. He signed a contract extension the following year and has a contract until 2023. Rangers have enough depth at the back, with Katic behind Connor Goldson, Filip Helander, Leon Balogun and Jack Simpson in the pecking order. According to Glasgow Live, Katic has been left ‘shocke...
Crystal Palace could move for Brighton target who is demanding £85k-per-week wages
Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has addressed the need to sign a striker this summer. According to The Sun, the Eagles ‘could make a move for’ for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard this month. The Bhoys spent £9 million to land the French striker from Paris-Saint Germain on a permanent deal in 2018, after initially signing him on loan the season before. PSG have a sell-on clause, which is reported to be around 40 percent of any profit from the fee. As a result, Celtic are demanding around £15m. He was also on the radar of Southampton. However, it seems unlikely that the Saints will move for him following their capture of Adam Amstrong. Brighton are one of the clubs that are keen to sign him, with Graham Potter remaining a keen admirer of his talents. Edouard has been sensational for the Bh...

The report claims that Nice are showing keen interest in the striker and are ready to make a formal move in the next few days. It will be interesting to see if it sparks a reaction from Brighton.

Celtic keen on 25-yr-old defender who contributed to 9 goals last season
Celtic are keen on signing the Croatian defender Josip Juranovic this summer. According to Sky Sports, the player is likely to cost around £2.5 million this summer. Ange Postecoglou is determined to improve his defensive options before the transfer window closes and he has identified the Croatian as a summer target. Initially, the Scottish giants were keen on signing Aurelio Buta from royal Antwerp but they have moved on to other targets because of the Belgium club’s demands. Juranovic is on the cusp of establishing himself as the first-choice right-back for his country and he could prove to be a bargain for the reported price. The 25-year-old defender can operate as a winger as well and his versatility will be an added bonus for the Hoops. Apart from his defensive qualities, the Croatian ...

34 goals in the last two seasons: Celtic keen on 25-yr-old attacker this summer
Celtic are interested in signing Kristijan Lovric from Gorica this summer. According to Daily Record, the winger is a target for the Scottish club, but Verona are also keen on signing him. The 25-year-old will cost around £5 million, but that could represent decent value given his recent goalscoring record. Lovric has bagged 34 goals in the past two seasons and could be an extremely useful addition to Ange Postecoglou’s attack. Celtic star Odsonne Edouard has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Parkhead, and Postecoglou must strengthen his attacking unit if the Frenchman moves on. Apart from signing a prolific striker, Celtic must also bring in a goalscoring wide forward. The Hoops made a miserable start to the new season, crashing out of the Champions League and failing...
