CELTIC CAN EMULATE VAN DIJK BARGAIN AS SUMMER TARGET OPENS DOOR TO HOOPS MOVE

CELTIC CAN EMULATE VAN DIJK BARGAIN AS SUMMER TARGET OPENS DOOR TO HOOPS MOVE.

Any prospective Celtic player would have thought something like, “I fancy a bit of that,”

when they watched the joyous celebrations on Wednesday night

as Brendan Rodgers‘ team won the Scottish Premiership

for the second time in a row while a haze of green covered Glasgow.

Meanwhile, it couldn’t have been a more fitting manner for Joe Hart to end an incredible career.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper, who is retiring this summer despite still having a lot to give,

earned another clean sheet to his record as Celtic easily defeated Kilmarnock 5-0 at Rugby Park.

a conclusion that guarantees The Hoops won’t be defeated on championship day.

“Everything is this.” Resolving not to cry, Hart grinned,

“What a season, what a tough season.” “I made the decision to end the day.

It meant everything to me to be standing here with these guys,

even if I wasn’t sure if they would grasp what I was trying to express at the time.

“We’re here to win trophies, and I’ve loved every minute of this club,”

the player exclaimed.I hope to feel at ease discussing it in the near future,

but I don’t want to start crying on the football field.

Celtic need a goalkeeper to replace Joe Hart

One of Celtic’s biggest tasks this summer will undoubtedly be to find a man who possesses the acumen,

the size, and the basic shot-stopping ability to fill Hart’s shoes.

With a new deal at Werder Bremen, Michael Zetterer has already taken his name out of the running,

but top target Caomhin Kelleher might be a bit pricey.

Kelleher, of whom HITC knows Celtic are huge fans,

was formerly rated by Liverpool at around £15 million.

Then, Celtic could need to cast a slightly wider net.

A team that has had some success in the Eredivisie market in the past—see Virgil van Dijk and Giorgios Giakoumakis—

may decide to head back to the Netherlands in pursuit of another great acquisition.

Dutch-language media According to Brabants Dagblad,

Celtic is “concretely interested” in RKC Waalwijk glovesman Etienne Vaessen.

Vaessen, who wears a skull helmet like Petr Cech after being knocked out earlier this season,

was asked this week by Voetbal International if this would be his final appearance for the RKC.

He answered with three succinct but powerful words.

“I hope so”.

Etienne Vaessen opens door to Hoops move

Having spent almost ten years with the RKC first team,

it is obvious that the 28-year-old believes the moment is perfect for a new beginning.

In July, 6′ 2″ Vaessen will be available as a free agent.

With neither Scott Bain nor Benjamin Siegrist considered solid backups,

it is not implausible that Celtic decide to add more goalkeepers this summer.

If Vaessen were to sign for free,

Rodgers would have enough of money remaining to sign another possible number one.

Alex McCarthy, a Southampton veteran, has been linked to Celtic.

HITC is aware that Ugurcan Cakir, the captain of Trabzonspor, is also being considered.

The 2022 Super Lig champions are willing to let their captain move for the appropriate price,

making him one of the more expensive targets for Celtic at an estimated £8 million.

“Ugurcan is our sibling.” He is an excellent player for Trabzonspor. “A genuine Trabzonspor player,”

clarifies Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan,

whose team is purportedly gaining ground on Borna Barisic and John Lundstram of the Rangers.

His team’s interests are the only thing on his mind, no matter what.

The player has the desire to play in Europe, of course.

We agreed to let him depart in the event that a significant offer materialized.

It is accurate to say that certain clubs have gotten in touch with us,

even though there isn’t an official offer just yet.

We applaud Ugurcan for having such a dream in mind.

It would be preferable to speak after receiving a formal offer.
