Celtic have been strongly linked with Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.
Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe has told The Mirror that he knows nothing about a potential move to join Celtic this month.
The Bhoys really need reinforcements before their transfer window ends, and they managed to bring in Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster on Thursday.
That will help Neil Lennon’s side, but more shopping on the South Coast of England has been touted before the end of the month.
The Express claimed earlier this week that Celtic were close to signing Bournemouth wide man Ibe, with the Bhoys pursuing a season-long loan deal.
Ibe joined Bournemouth from Liverpool back in 2016, in what was seen as something of a coup for the Cherries given how he had been highly rated at Anfield.
However, he hasn’t really lived up to his billing at Dean Court, and more wingers were signed this summer in Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld and Harry Wilson.
That potentially leaves Ibe on the sidelines this season, and whilst Celtic may look for a winger with Scott Sinclair out of favour, it doesn’t seem like Ibe will be arriving.
Ibe has now told The Mirror that he knows nothing about a move to Celtic, never mind one being close, and suggested that he has no interest in speculation about his future anyway.
“That Celtic thing, I don’t know about that. Any speculation stuff I don’t get involved with,” said Ibe, meaning Celtic may have to look elsewhere.
