Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for new talent to strengthen his Celtic team in January, and rumors suggest that he has his sights set on a player who could potentially replace Joe Hart.
According to The Daily Record, Bournemouth goalkeeper Will Dennis is being considered by Rodgers as a potential upgrade in the goalkeeping department. Currently on loan at Kilmarnock until the end of the season, the 23-year-old has caught the attention of both Rangers and Celtic.
Dennis has been a standout player for Kilmarnock this season, featuring in all of their domestic fixtures and playing a key role in victories over Brendan Rodgers’ team in the Scottish Cup and league matches.
Eddie Howe, formerly the manager of Bournemouth, has been a supporter of Dennis, having signed him as a 15-year-old and overseeing a three-year contract extension. Howe praised Dennis for his rapid improvement and potential, indicating that he saw a bright future for the young goalkeeper.
There is uncertainty about Joe Hart’s future at Celtic as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season. With Dennis potentially being eyed as a successor to the experienced Hart, it seems that Rodgers is making preparations for a changing of the guard in the goalkeeping position.
