Celtic are reportedly keen on signing Bristol City winger Niclas Eliasson.
Celtic have already secured two new signings this month, with midfielder Ismaila Soro and attacker Patryk Klimala both snapped up.
The Bhoys are leading the race for the Scottish Premiership title, but may still need more reinforcements before Friday’s transfer deadline.
Scott Sinclair has left the club for Preston North End, whilst Lewis Morgan is just waiting for his move to Inter Miami to go through, meaning a winger may be a target.
Now, the Daily Record claim that Celtic are in the race to sign Bristol City winger Niclas Eliasson, with Lazio and Villarreal also interested.
However, agent Hasan Cetinkaya has told the Daily Record that a deal looks ‘difficult’, because Bristol City don’t want to sell the wide man this month.
Eliasson, 24, is not only quick and tricky, but he has a great left foot and superb delivery into the box, having racked up 10 assists and 40 key passes this season.
The Swede is one of the most exciting players in the Championship, and Celtic fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the rumours.
Bhoys supporters think that Eliasson is like Sinclair, but not quite as exciting, and whilst some think he is ‘class’ and could represent a fine late signing, others aren’t convinced, believing he could be another Gary Mackay-Steven whilst doubting Celtic will make a move happen.
