Celtic line up Adam Idah replacement as £8m striker on radar

Celtic could move for Kasper Dolberg if Swansea's attempts to sign Adam Idah are successful.

The men from Glasgow's east end are in advanced talks with the Welsh side and the two clubs are believed to be close to an agreement for a deal worth £7million.

Idah could travel for a medical within the next 48 hours ahead of a return to the English Championship.

And his replacement may already be lined up in the shape of Denmark international Dolberg, currently at Anderlecht.

The Belgian giants were reportedly looking for £8m earlier ths summer but the cash-strapped club are now more open to offers after their Conference League exit, reports the Scottish Sun.

Celtic could make their move for the 27-year-old, who hit 24 goals last season and has five goals in eight games so far this campaign.

He has other interest and Anderlecht recently turned down a bid from a Qatari side, while French outfit Rennes were also taking a look.

It looks likely Idah will move on just a year after completing his £9m switch from Norwich City, making an initial loan permanent.

Celtic this evening completed the signing of winger Michel-Ange Balikiwsha and left-back Marcelo Saracchi is exected to follow. Another winger is likely, as well as a centre forward.

After securing Balikwisha, Rodgers said:  “I am delighted to welcome Michel-Ange to Celtic and I believe he will be a great addition to our squad.

“He is a really talented, exciting player and with a good level of experience at a high level already, so he will be an important player for us moving forward.

“He loves to attack and can play both sides of the pitch so we are sure he will give the team some great options.

“Having spoken to Michel-Ange I know he is very excited about joining Celtic and he wants to be a big success with us, so we look forward to working with him.”
