Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, who can play in a box to box role or as a number six, is being considered as a replacement if Arne Engels departs. Transfer reporter Pete O'Rourke revealed on X that Celtic are considering a move for the Hibernian midfielder if they decide to sell Arne Engels, who is a target for Nottingham Forest.

Celtic have been linked with Hibs midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, a 21-year-old Zambia international who moved to the Easter Road club from Young Boys last summer in a significant six-figure deal. Celtic are very keen on the player, and Serie A strugglers Fiorentina also hold an interest. Chaiwa has 16 caps for his country and his contract at Hibernian runs until May 2028. His current market value is €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt, and in the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership season he has made 12 appearances, scoring one goal.
