Kevin Nisbet to Celtic transfer link addressed as Ange Postecoglou 'ain't quashing or confirming' striker swap

Ange Postecoglou has addressed reports linking Celtic with a move for Hibs striker Kevin Nisbet - saying he won't confirm either way whether he's interested.

The Hoops are on the lookout for a new striker this summer and are believed to be in talks over VVV-Venlo's Georgios Giakoumakis.

French target man Thomas Henry is also on the agenda but Nisbet, who made his Scotland debut before Euro 2020, has been linked for a while.

Fresh reports emerged on Saturday after broadcaster Peter Martin claimed the Celtic wanted to offer Leigh Griffiths plus cash to bring Nisbet to Celtic Park.

And Postecoglou was in no mooed to deny the rumours - but preferred to talk about the deals they have already done.

Celtic confirmed the signing of Josip Juranovic earlier on Saturday much to the relief of the Australian.

When asked about Nisbet, he said: "I ain't quashing, or denying or confirming, y'know.

"I was really happy to talk about Josip today because I'd been sitting on the fence with one, I don't like sitting on the fence.

"I prefer to talk about the ones we have done, there is still some work we're doing off the field, hopefully we will be able to make some announcements in the next few days."

When asked if he was confident more deals would be coming, Postecoglou was far less vague.

"Absolutely. For sure," he said.
