Done Deal: Celtic ACCEPT offer one of their best players today, he is leaving already

Celtic Accepts Loan Offer for Defender Stephen Welsh

Celtic FC has accepted a loan offer from KV Mechelen for defender Stephen Welsh, according to Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph. The move is expected to happen this month.

Welsh, 24, has struggled to break into Celtic’s starting lineup this season, making only one appearance in the league. Allowing him to move on makes sense, as he needs regular playing time to develop his skills.

Greg Taylor has previously praised Welsh, calling his performance “superb” and highlighting his leadership qualities. Welsh has made 68 appearances for Celtic, scoring once, and should be proud of his progress from the youth team to the senior setup.

The move to KV Mechelen could be an excellent opportunity for Welsh to gain more experience and become a key player. Celtic fans will likely wish him well in his future endeavors.

In other Celtic transfer news, the club is reportedly interested in signing Kieran Tierney on loan from Arsenal, with a potential permanent deal in the summer. Tierney, 27, has fallen out of favor at Arsenal and is seeking regular playing time.

Celtic is also linked with Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill, who is out of contract at Turf Moor at the end of the season. Brownhill has been impressive for Burnley, and Celtic may be able to sign him on a free transfer in the summer.

Additionally, Celtic has been linked with Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee, who has struggled to break into Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup. McAtee, 22, has been impressive for Manchester City’s youth teams and may be seeking regular playing time elsewhere.

Finally, Celtic is reportedly interested in signing Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge this season. Dewsbury-Hall has been linked with several clubs, and Celtic may face competition for his signature.

As the January transfer window heats up, Celtic fans will be watching with interest to see how the club’s transfer dealings unfold. With several players linked with moves to and from the club, it promises to be an exciting few weeks for Hoops supporters.
