Celtic should consider signing Swansea City’s Ben Cabango in January, given his contract situation and suitability for Brendan Rodgers’ style of play. Cabango, 24, is out of contract next summer and has made 188 appearances for Swansea, scoring nine goals and providing four assists.
The Welsh international has impressed this season, winning 17 duels, making 19 recoveries, and recording a 90.5% pass accuracy rate. He has also been capped nine times by Wales and has a strong defensive record.
Swansea manager Luke Williams has confirmed that talks over a contract extension are ongoing, but there is no indication that Cabango is close to signing a new deal. Celtic could capitalize on this uncertainty and sign Cabango as a potential bargain.
Cabango’s wages of £9,500 per week should be manageable for Celtic, and his signing could provide competition for Liam Scales and Stephen Welsh. With Mauricio Pochettino’s comments about Celtic’s global reputation, signing Cabango could be a shrewd move to strengthen the team’s defense.
Celtic should keep tabs on Cabango’s situation and consider making a move in January if he doesn’t sign a new contract with Swansea. His addition could be a valuable investment for the club’s future success.
