Philip Otele remains at Basel despite transfer rumors, and he provided an assist and a goal in the victory.

The Daily Record reports that Celtic have enquired about Basel's Philip Otele. Basel sporting director Daniel Stucki believes the 26-year-old will leave the club this month, after a transfer to Russia did not proceed in the summer. The Daily Record report also states that Basel were unable to let him leave in the summer for political reasons. The signing of Jeremy Agbonifo makes a potential departure in the winter foreseeable, and there are many tentative inquiries for Otele.

Nigerian attacker Philip Otele, 26, is considered a hot candidate for a departure from FC Basel. Officially, FC Basel has reported muscular problems for the winger, but it's possible they just didn't want to take any risks. A move to England, where Fulham have been linked, is a possibility, but nothing has been decided yet. Otele was on the bench for the first time after seven consecutive starts but came on as a substitute in the final phase of the game. His contract with the Swiss club runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m.
