Celtic have been linked with a move for SD Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic.
The 28-year-old, who has 16 senior caps for Serbia to his name, has been with the Spanish side for three-and-a-half years, making 108 appearances for the club.
Dmitrovic has kept 31 clean sheets during his time with Eibar and has now been linked with a Parkhead switch.
Former Hoops player Mark Wilson revealed Celtic’s interest in Dmitrovic (as cited by the Daily Record) on the latest episode of the Celtic Huddle podcast, relayed by This Is Futbol.
Just on transfers – [a] transfer story that we’re hearing rumours about – [it is] well documented, the goalkeeper hasn’t covered himself in glory – Marko Dmitrovic, plays in La Liga with Eibar.
28-year-old Serbian internationalist, he’s out of contract in the summer. Would it be something that, if Neil’s still there, he’d be trying to tie that up in January?
Read Celtic verdict
As Wilson mentions, Dmitrovic is out of contract in the summer. Should his situation remain the same, the Hoops will have the opportunity to sign the £9m-rated shot-stopper on a pre-contract agreement ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
It could prove to be a shrewd move by the club, with Dmitrovic averaging a clean sheet with Eibar every 3.4 games.
The Hoops could even look at a cut-price deal to bring the Serbian to Celtic Park in January, with Lennon switching between Vasilis Barkas and Scott Bain in recent weeks.
Lennon’s side have shipped 20 goals in their last eight games and it appears as if the goalkeeping situation needs to be resolved if they are to claw back the 13-point gap on Rangers at the top of the Premiership.
Fraser Forster has also been linked with a loan move to Parkhead, so it’ll be interesting to see what the club’s goalkeeping plans are in the New Year.
