Celtic transfer round up: Huge Edouard boost, an exit for Shved and those claims from John Barnes

While Celtic fans will want to find out sooner rather than later if Fraser Forster will be back for next season, it seems to be strikers who are attracting the headlines today.

It’s always dangerous to read into comments from a player as things can change so quickly, but Odsonne Edouard dropped a huge hint that he will be with Celtic for next season which should come as a huge boost.

Prolific Peterborough striker Ivan Toney has cropped up a few times this week, so it’s not a surprise to see him linked again today, but it does sound like he might cost a lot of money.

In terms of a possible exit the situation with Marian Shved continues to be a curious one.

He was signed when Brendan Rodgers was in charge yet it was clear that he didn’t want him, while there has never been an obvious plan for his development over the past couple of years.

An exit might be the most likely option for him this summer, and there’s interest from a few clubs around Europe.

The main story today is very topical and potentially sensitive, and it’s likely to split opinion among the fans.

John Barnes seems to be claiming that his sacking from Celtic was racially motivated – rather than a result of incompetence and getting pumped by Inverness in the cup.

It’s so important not to undermine any of the feeling around the world right now, so you can read more in depth here about Barnes’ time at Celtic and how accurate his claims may be.
