Celtic has today been linked with an alternative Danish striker to Mathias Kvistgaarden…

The club are scouring the transfer market for that gem who can come into the the starting line-up and replace the imperious Kyogo Furuhashi. The golden Bhoy swapped our famous Parkhead gates for the adventure of Brittany in an £10 million deal, leaving a substantial hole in our offence.
Kyogo will be a sore miss for Celtic
The Japanese star will be a sore miss in these parts and has arguably been the main man for Celtic over these past few years we have regained domestic dominance, following a momentary lapse. Signed at £4.6 million from Vissel Kobe in his homeland, it’s hard to argue that the Hoops haven’t had their money back and more for the tiny attacker, with the transfer fee recouped and then some too.
It now leaves us in the awkward position of having to get a replacement in halfway through the season which will be a notoriously difficult task as premiums are always the order of the day during a January transfer window. Nonetheless, it still needs sorting and premium or not, we have a Champions League knockout tie to tackle at the same time as trying to keep our stranglehold of the domestic scene.

Celtic now linked with Kvistgaarden’s fellow countryman, Tammer Bany
Mathias Kvistgaarden of Brondby is the name that has carried the strongest links so far, but now others have emerged. Tipsbladet have now reported that the Scottish side have entered the race for Kvistgaarden’s fellow countryman, Tammer Bany.
They state that the 21-year-old has been inundated with interest from across the globe and that his club, Randers FC, are looking for a record-breaking transfer fee for the man who can play multiple positions across the frontline.
With only a few days left in the transfer window, the Hoops will have to get a move on and decide what and who they are willing to pay for. Kvistgaarden is the name that most of the fanbase would like to see but whoever the club move for, it has to be the correct fit.
Too often the club have sold players across the years and failed – miserably at times – to replace like-for-like quality. That cannot and must not happen this time out.
