Celtic in the race to sign £35m player who’s cried on the pitch this season

Brendan Rodgers has continually bemoaned the fact his team are lacking quality and with Kyogo

Furuhashi clearly struggling to find goals, it seems the Celtic manager has turn to the

English Premier League to solve his striking ills.

A report from Ojogo has claimed that Celtic are leading the race to sign Portuguese striker, Fabio Silva.

The 21-year-old was signed by Wolves for over £35m [BBC] in 2020 but after a disastrous two seasons at Molineaux,

the youngster is said to be looking to move on.

The report claims, “Fábio Silva is preparing to leave Wolverhampton when the market

reopens and the striker’s future should go through Scottish football, where he is disputed by Celtic and Rangers.”

Fabio Silva’s Wolves woes

Silva was obviously having trouble, and last month against Sheffield United, he “conceded”

a penalty in the final seconds.

The little player challenged George Balldock in the penalty area as Wolves continued to win the game with the score tied at one.

The Blades striker appeared to have made no touch as he descended quickly.

The penalty was awarded and backed up by VAR, and Wolves lost the game and their unbeaten start to the season.

Silva was inconsolable on the pitch and this seemed to be the icing on a very bitter cake as

the youngster’s torrid time at the club continued.

His self-esteem must be completely destroyed, and perhaps moving to Celtic would be quite beneficial for him.

Given the opportunities Celtic presents, Silva might be interested in reestablishing his reputation and career in Paradise.

If a transfer was ever made, it would probably be on a loan agreement because Celtic could not afford to make the kind of payment that Wolves made for the striker.

And Celtic could easily afford that amount given his £42k weekly wage [SalarySport]. We’ll be keeping a careful eye on this as the January timeframe draws near.

A 23-year-old Premier League player who is considered “talented” is being pursued by Celtic.
