Celtic looking to sign Manchester City midfielder
One of Ronny Deila’s former protégé’s at Stromsgodest could be set to join Celtic from Manchester City.
Bersant Celina was a highly rated youngster in his homeland Norway and could be set for a move up north to link up with his former manager.
The 19-year-old midfielder made his senior debut for the Premier League club against Norwich in the third round of the FA Cup at the weekend and impressed during his five-minute cameo performance.
Ronny Deila and John Collins were spotted at Goodison Park last week and watched on as Everton beat Manchester City 2-1.
Much of the early speculation was about former Hoops player Aiden McGeady, however John Collins ruled out a move for the 29-year-old winger last week.
Instead Deila and Collins met with officials from City to discuss a number of things including Celina, a player the Celtic boss is very familiar with.
According to reports, Celtic are looking to bring the young midfielder on loan for the rest of the season to gain some more first-team experience.
Many Celtic fans are already disgruntled at the club’s transfer policy and a loan move for another young player would only increase anger amongst the fans.
Celtic are set to be rivalled by several Championship clubs for his signature, who would become the third player from City’s ranks to move to the league champions in recent years.
Pish wee should be either giving our youngsters a chance instead a getting young players on loan. For what?? And mcgeady why the he’ll would wee want to go back the way. Nah he jumped the ship at the first hurdle so chase youreself wee toes. Need experience. Need a goalkeeper. And maybe a new manager??????
Need another defender and striker not a midfield player, the signing policy needs to be looked at and re-thinked
Its the management policy that needs rethinking.HH
Its the management policy that needs rethinking
Why have we a reserve team no incentive for our own young players at paradise
Need a whole new team and manager
We have enough midfield players defence and a new striker needed
Why another striker to sit on the bench Ronnie only plays on up front.
Exactly Tony. Why we keep harping on about strikers is beyond me. Sort out the defence for god sake.
We have youngsters of our own that we should be bringing through instead of bringing the youngsters of other teams through only to lose them at the end of the season. We have a young striker who’s goal has been voted one of the best scored in Europe last year and yet we go to the EPL and bring their youngsters on for them…….MADNESS!!!
My name is George McGeouch, we need a new goalkeeper I’m sorry Craig you have had your 1 Season thanks. My opinion of 45 years he is finished along with Scott Brown sorry but true
