With less than two months left in the summer transfer window, Celtic are racing against time to secure any deals they want before it closes.
Despite their recent success in the Scottish Premiership and SFA Cup, the Hoops have yet to make any first-team additions to their squad. However, they are eyeing a new goalkeeper to replace Joe Hart and strengthen their defense with a new central defender.
One potential target is Burnley’s Dara O’Shea, who Celtic have approached in hopes of securing a deal for the Republic of Ireland international. O’Shea’s experience and promise make him an attractive option for the Hoops as they look to compete in the Champions League next season.
Securing O’Shea won’t be easy, as Burnley will likely demand a significant bid for the defender. With the Clarets currently manager-less following Vincent Kompany’s departure, Celtic may have to wait before a decision on O’Shea’s future is made.
If a deal for O’Shea is successful, he could follow in the footsteps of Cameron Carter-Vickers, who impressed during his time at Celtic before attracting interest from Premier League clubs. O’Shea’s age and experience make him a compelling option for Celtic as they look to strengthen their squad for the future.
