“Good bye legend, you will be missed” Celtic set to complete DEAL to sign 26 year old as a perfect replacement for Matt O’Riley

Celtic FC is eyeing a move to sign Sheffield United defender Auston Trusty, according to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph. The 26-year-old American player has impressed in the Premier League and Championship, and Brendan Rodgers believes he would be an excellent addition to the Hoops.

Trusty, who cost Sheffield United £5m last year, has 32 appearances in the Premier League and 44 in the Championship. He has also won two caps for the USA, demonstrating his pedigree. His former teammate George Friend has praised him, saying, “I think Trusty has been incredible… I don’t think I’ve seen anyone better at coming from a league abroad and just taking to the Championship so easily.”

The defender’s versatility, being able to play as both a centre-back and left-back, would be a significant asset for Rodgers. With Trusty, Celtic would gain experience, skill, and depth in their squad, crucial for competing in the Champions League and other competitions.

This potential signing comes as Celtic faces the possible departure of influential midfielder Matt O’Riley, who may join Brighton. However, Rodgers is working to strengthen his team, also eyeing Los Angeles FC midfielder Mateusz Bogusz and Lausanne-Sport’s Alvyn Sanches.
