Celtic Pursue Croatian Striker with 25 Goals This Season
Celtic FC is actively looking to bolster its attacking lineup this winter transfer window. The Scottish club is in dire need of a reliable goalscorer, which has proved crucial for their performance this season. Despite their ability to create scoring opportunities, converting these chances has become a significant struggle.
The current squad features players like Johnny Kenny and Shin Yamada, who have not consistently delivered in key moments. Moreover, Daizen Maeda’s form has also dipped, and the team has faced additional challenges due to injuries. Kelechi Iheanacho has been sidelined, and promising talent Callum Osmand has now succumbed to a long-term injury, further complicating Celtic’s offensive strategy.
Celtic Targets Croatian Striker with Impressive Record
In light of these challenges, Celtic has turned its attention to Franko Kovacevic, a Croatian striker currently playing for NK Celje. Kovacevic has been in remarkable form this season, netting 25 goals in just 28 appearances. His outstanding performance has drawn interest from the Glasgow giants, who have reportedly reached out to NK Celje to explore the feasibility of signing him.

- Player: Franko Kovacevic
- Club: NK Celje
- Season Goals: 25
- Appearances: 28
Kovacevic, aged 26, has had a diverse career, with experiences across several clubs in Asia and North America. His recent scoring record makes him an attractive option for Celtic, although questions remain about whether he can replicate this success in the Scottish Premiership.
Other Striker Prospects
Celtic is not solely focused on Kovacevic. They are also evaluating several other attacking options to strengthen their ranks. Players such as David Datro Fofana from Chelsea, Mohamed Bamba of FC Lorient, and Andrej Ilic from Union Berlin have all emerged as potential targets.
As the transfer window progresses, the pressure is on Celtic to secure a consistent goalscorer. The addition of a prolific striker could be the key to helping the team regain its competitive edge in the league.
