Celtic Eyeing Late Loan Move to Sign ‘Explosive’ Premier League Striker

Celtic FC is keen on making a late loan move for Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson. According to the Daily Mail, the Scottish Premiership leaders are interested in pursuing a loan deal for the 22-year-old striker.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been looking to bolster his squad ahead of the deadline, and Ferguson has emerged as a top target. The Hoops are flying this season, with Rodgers’ side 10 points ahead of second-placed Rangers with a game in hand on their arch-rivals.

The club has already made some significant moves in the transfer window, confirming the return of Portuguese winger Jota from Stade Rennais. Fellow fan-favourite Kyogo Furuhashi moved the other way, leaving Celtic in need of a new striker.

Ferguson has been linked with several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and West Ham United. However, Celtic’s domestic success and potential for further progression in Europe may give them the edge in trying to lure Ferguson to their team.

Brighton reportedly open to departure

Brighton has been open to Ferguson’s departure on loan or permanently, were the right offer to come in. Despite owner Tony Bloom being a big fan of the player, Ferguson has lacked consistency this season, netting just one goal in 12 Premier League games.

A loan move to Celtic could offer Ferguson, who has been described as ‘explosive’, the chance to restore his confidence with consistent minutes. The Hoops are reportedly close to securing a deal for Kieran Tierney to return to the club from Arsenal, either this month or on a pre-contract agreement for a transfer in the summer.

Celtic’s interest in Ferguson is the latest development in what has been a busy transfer window for the club. Rodgers has been keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the deadline, and Ferguson’s arrival could provide a significant boost to the team’s attacking options.

Ferguson’s stats this season

Ferguson has made 12 appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring just one goal. He has also made two appearances in the EFL Cup, failing to find the back of the net.

Despite his lack of goals, Ferguson has shown flashes of brilliance this season. His pace and skill on the ball have caused problems for opposing defenders, and he has been praised for his work rate and dedication.

Celtic’s domestic success

Celtic has been dominant in the Scottish Premiership this season, winning 20 of their 22 matches. They are 10 points ahead of second-placed Rangers, with a game in hand on their arch-rivals.

The Hoops have also been successful in the Scottish League Cup, winning the competition earlier this season. They are still in contention for the Scottish Cup, with a fifth-round tie against Hearts scheduled for later this month.

Celtic’s European ambitions

Celtic has qualified for the play-off round of the newly formatted Champions League, where they will face a tough opponent in the quest to reach the group stages.

The Hoops have a rich history in European competition, having won the European Cup in 1967. They have also reached the final of the UEFA Cup in 2003, where they lost to Porto.

Rodgers’ influence

Brendan Rodgers has been instrumental in Celtic’s success this season. The Northern Irishman has been in charge of the club since 2019, leading them to several domestic titles.

Rodgers has a reputation for developing young players, and Ferguson could benefit from his guidance. The Celtic manager has a proven track record of improving players, and Ferguson could thrive under his tutelage.

Conclusion

Celtic FC is keen on making a late loan move for Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson. The Scottish Premiership leaders believe Ferguson could provide a significant boost to their attacking options, and are reportedly willing to offer him consistent minutes to restore his confidence.

With Celtic’s domestic success and potential for further progression in Europe, Ferguson may see the Hoops as an attractive option. Brighton’s openness to his departure could pave the way for a loan move, and Rodgers’ influence could be a major factor in Ferguson’s decision.

As the transfer window enters its final stages, Celtic fans will be eagerly watching developments. The club’s ability to attract top talent could be crucial in their quest for domestic and European success.
