Celtic welcome Hibernian to Parkhead in Saturday’s exciting Scottish Premiership clash and Brendan Rodgers should keep an eye on Florian Kamberi.
There is still two and a half months until the January transfer window opens, so Celtic have plenty of time to put together a list of potential striker targets.
The Hoops might have smashed St Johnstone for six prior to the international break, but Brendan Rodgers could still do with a replacement for Moussa Dembele, whose deadline-day move to Lyon left Celtic with Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard as their only centre forward options.
So Celtic should take an opportunity to have a close look at Florian Kamberi this weekend.
High-flying Hibernian travel to Parkhead on Saturday with the clubs second and third in the table as it stands. And Neil Lennon’s hopes of moving four points clear of his former club rest heavily on the shoulders of their Swiss target man.
23-year-old Kamberi has scored 21 goals in 29 games since arriving at Hibernian from Grasshoppers, initially on loan and then for a bargain fee of just £100,000 in June, as reported by the Daily Record.
Big, strong, proven in Scottish football and blessed with the ability to link effectively with his teammates, Kamberi has the potential to be a perfect fit for a Celtic side who were robbed of their focal point when Dembele returned to France.
Rodgers has previously targeted a couple of talented youngsters after being impressed by their displays against Celtic, such as John McGinn and Jack Hendry. So Kamberi could play his way on to the champion’s transfer list on Saturday.
