Hibernian forward Florian Kamberi would be a good signing for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic, suggests Mark Fotheringham.
Kamberi joined Hibernian from Grasshopper Club Zurich in the summer transfer window on a three-year contract, as announced on Hibs’ official website.
The former Switzerland Under-21 international forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Hibs after joining from Grasshopper on loan in January 2018.
Former Celtic midfielder Fotheringham, who is now at Cowdenbeath, has said that 23-year-old Kamberi would be a good signing for Brendan Rodgers’s side.
Fotheringham, tough, has suggested that the forward will cost more than £7 million that Derby County paid Ipswich Town for Martyn Waghorn in the summer transfer window, as reported by The Scottish Sun.
The 35-year-old told The Scottish Sun: “Celtic know my feelings about Kamberi. He’s doing the business for Hibs and I’m really pleased because I’ve got so much respect for Neil Lennon.
“I also think Kamberi would be tailor-made for Celtic. Other than Callum, I think he’s the hottest property in Scottish football.
“He’s got everything — he’s six foot, he’s got pace, can dribble, he can finish. Look at the goals he scores, the one against Celtic last weekend was phenomenal.
“Martyn Waghorn went to Derby for £7m, so what does that make Kamberi or Callum worth?”
Quality forward
With Moussa Dembele leaving Celtic in the summer transfer window, the Glasgow giants could do with another forward.
Kamberi has scored four goals and provided four assists in seven Scottish Premiership appearances for Hibs so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
The Swiss forward scored four goals and provided one assist in six Europa League qualifying games for Hibs this campaign, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
