The latest transfer talk surrounding Celtic includes a new link to goalkeeper Jon McCracken. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 12 possible arrivals and 3 potential exits. Below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours, though the hottest storyline right now is about David Watson.
Jon McCracken
On Monday, Football Insider claimed Celtic are considering a move for Dundee's Scottish goalkeeper Jon McCracken, who is on their radar at Lennoxtown. The 25-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, which would allow the club to sign him without a transfer fee. He is reportedly seen as a potential replacement for Kasper Schmeichel, who is likely to leave when his contract expires, and would be brought in to provide competition for Viljami Sinisalo. The same publication reports that multiple EFL Championship clubs are also monitoring the goalkeeper.
Aribim Pepple
On Saturday, it was reported that the Hoops have been linked with Plymouth Argyle centre-forward Aribim Pepple, who has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season. Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley has previously said that it is true there is a release clause in Pepple's contract, though the amount is unclear.
Silas Andersen
Celtic is targeting Silas Andersen, according to a Sunday report, which added that Rohl's coaching staff have watched him extensively. It is believed that Rangers could have an advantage in signing him ahead of their rivals if they reach the Champions League.
Joe Gelhardt
It was reported on Sunday that Rangers have renewed their interest in Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt. Celtic have also been credited with an interest in him in the past.
Tyrese Campbell
On Thursday, former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, speaking to Football Insider, stated that while Tyrese Campbell has been scouted by both Old Firm clubs, he does not see him moving to Scotland. Wyness said he does not believe the move is right for Campbell's career and that his sources have indicated this particular transfer may not happen.
Tawanda Maswanhise
A report on Thursday suggested that should he be appointed as Celtic manager, Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou may seek to bring Tawanda Maswanhise with him to Celtic Park. Maswanhise has scored 16 Scottish Premiership goals this season.
Luke Graham
Luke Graham has been linked with a move to Celtic, but on Thursday, RecordSport quoted the player as saying that he ignores such matters. Graham stated he does not want to be involved with that aspect of things while in mid-season with Dundee and is focused on his own game. There are currently no details of negotiations or offers.
