Should Celtic have made a move for Jermain Defoe before he joined Bournemouth from Sunderland in the summer transfer window?
Celtic are in need of a striker at the moment. Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths are the two main strikers in Brendan Rodgers’s side and they are very good, but the Hoops could do with someone else for that position.
French striker Dembele could be out until early September, as Celtic boss Rodgers has told BBC Sport, while Griffiths was suspended for the Hoops’ Champions League third qualifying round first-leg tie against Rosenborg on Wednesday evening.
This means that the Glasgow giants could do with another striker. But who would want to join Celtic knowing that he would be third choice after the first few weeks of the season?
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport and BT Sport, has sarcastically suggested on social networking site Twitter that the Scottish Premiership giants should have signed Jermain Defoe.
Defoe left Sunderland at the end of last season following the Black Cats’ relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.
The 34-year-old England international striker has moved to Premier League club Bournemouth, and is getting paid £65,000 per week as salary at the Cherries, according to The Sun.
