Tobias Lauritsen has been suggested as a better option for Celtic than Tomas Cvancara, and he is described as more consistent and cheaper. Lauritsen's contract with Sparta Rotterdam expires this summer, and he could be signed on a free transfer. He has scored ten or more goals in each of the last three seasons and has scored 12 goals this season. This total matches the combined tally of all current Celtic strikers.

Amidst Celtic's search for a dedicated striker, Sparta Rotterdam's 28-year-old Norwegian forward, Tobias Lauritsen, has been identified as a player who could fulfill the role. The forward has scored ten or more goals in every season since he joined the Eredivisie club in 2022. It is suggested that he could potentially become a striker who scores 25-30 goals a season at Celtic due to the nature of the league. Lauritsen, whose contract is valid until June 2026, has also been linked with PSV and Feyenoord. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €3.50m. Sparta Rotterdam reportedly demanded a very high price for the striker in January 2026, having reportedly paid €450,000 for him in August 2022.
