Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side are expected to be active in the summer transfer window.
Brendan Rodgers is yet to use his past connection with Chelsea, since moving to Celtic, to his advantage.
Rodgers worked as Chelsea’s youth earlier in his career, before stepping into management.
Plenty of the youngsters that were at Stamford Bridge during Rodgers time in charge are now senior professionals, and Celtic could benefit from using their manager’s past contacts.
In this article we take a look at three Chelsea players who Celtic could move for in the summer transfer window.
Nathan Ake
Ake showed his class over the early part of the season on a loan move to Bournemouth, but since his recall he has barely featured for Chelsea.
Ake appears to be a covering option for Chelsea, and it may be that his development is better served by getting regular first-team football.
Celtic could offer him that, and the youngster would unquestionably fit in well with Rodgers’ side.
Lewis Baker
Baker looks to be one of the brightest English prospects currently breaking through, and he has enjoyed a number of successful loan spells.
Baker’s progress this season, while on a temporary move to Vitesse, has largely gone unnoticed – but it has been highly impressive.
Baker has scored 14 goals in all competitions in Dutch competitions so far, and looks to be a very exciting talent.
Marco Van Ginkel
Van Ginkel is the most experienced of the players mentioned in this article, but his career at Chelsea has stuttered.
The 24-year-old badly needs to get regular football if he is to fulfil his potential, and a move to Celtic could benefit all parties involved.
