It has been reported that Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants to sign the 20-year-old Dutch left-back from French giants PSG this summer.
Although an initial loan bid for the youngster has been turned down, the Glasgow giants are still in the hunt for the 20-year-old, according to the report.
Need for a left-back
Greg Taylor is the only senior specialist left-back in the current Celtic team, with Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo out of the squad after breaking quarantine rules.
It remains to be seen if Belgian left-back Bolingoli-Mbombo is drafted back into the team, but as of now, the Hoops have just Taylor to call upon.
That is a huge risk, and it is clear that Celtic need to sign a left-back who can compete with Taylor.
Good signing for Celtic?
Bakker is only 20 years of age and does not have much experience of first-team football.
However, PSG would not have signed the Dutch youngster in the summer of 2019 if they did not think that he is talented.
A season on loan at Celtic would help in the progress and development of Bakker.
