Celtic has been linked with a surprise move for Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen in the January transfer window. The Danish media has been speculating about a potential move to Celtic Park, and former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes it could be a good fit for both parties.
“Eriksen to Celtic makes sense,” Parker said. “Brendan Rodgers knows him from the Premier League, and he knows Kasper Schmeichel from the national team through many years. Language won’t be an issue either, so it seems like an obvious move.”
Eriksen, 32, has been a regular contributor for Manchester United this season, but there have been suggestions that he could be on his way out in the winter, following the departure of Erik ten Hag and the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim.
While Celtic’s midfield is already stacked with talent, Eriksen’s experience and quality could make him an attractive addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad. However, it remains to be seen whether Celtic can pull off such a high-profile signing.
Parker believes that Eriksen has the level for more than the Scottish league, but acknowledges that Celtic is a big club with a rich history. “It’s a big club, and Eriksen can cap off a fantastic career with a great experience at Celtic, where the entire city revolves around football,” he said.
Eriksen’s potential move to Celtic has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether the club needs another midfielder. However, if Celtic can secure Eriksen’s signature, it would undoubtedly be a major coup for the club.
As the January transfer window approaches, Celtic fans will be eagerly watching to see if the club can pull off a surprise signing. With Eriksen’s experience and quality, he could be an excellent addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad.
Only time will tell if Celtic can secure Eriksen’s signature, but one thing is certain – it would be a major statement of intent from the club.
