Celtic<\/a> will be given the chance to sign Motherwell striker Tawanda Maswanhise this summer if they offer a suitable fee.<\/p>\n

Maswanhise has been a revelation for Motherwell this season and currently leads the Scottish Premiership scoring charts.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean striker has shown some fine form under Jens Berthel Askou, with several clubs registering an interest in his services ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n

Celtic are one of those, and as I revealed on the latest edition of\u00a0Football Insider\u2019s Transfer Insider podcast<\/a>, the Steelmen are set to be open to selling Maswanhise for a sizeable figure.<\/p>\n

It is clear that Celtic\u2019s transfer plans<\/a>\u00a0will involve signing a new forward to become their main man up front for next season.<\/p>\n

Celtic could lose top scorer Benjamin Nygren amid Valencia interest<\/p>\n

Celtic need to add more firepower and goalscoring ability to their squad for next term, especially with the future of top scorer Nygren looking uncertain ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n
