Celtic are reportedly keen on Arsenal’s Jordi Osei-Tutu.
Celtic need help at right back this summer – and they’re seemingly eyeing up an Arsenal youngster to aid Neil Lennon’s squad.
Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa are both out of contract this summer, and with the veteran likely to go, two new right backs may well be needed.
Proven right backs such as George Baldock and Stephen O’Donnell have been mentioned, but so have young talents, with Arsenal’s Jordi Osei-Tutu the latest.
The Sun report that Hamburg want to offer Osei-Tutu a move to Germany, but Celtic and Brentford are keen to take him on a season-long loan move.
The 20-year-old has struggled to break through at Arsenal, and may now feel that it’s time to move on – even if only on loan – in order to play first-team football.
Celtic’s right back situation makes it a smart move, and some Arsenal fans feel a move to Parkhead would be preferable, given that he’d be playing a role in a title-chasing team, who will also have Champions League football.
Others are wondering whether a swap deal could be in the offing, believing that Arsenal should offer Osei-Tutu plus cash in a deal to sign Celtic left back Kieran Tierney – though it feels incredibly unlikely that Celtic would accept such a move.
