Celtic are readying a formal move for Lorient forward Sambou Soumano in a late-window deal, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n
The Scottish giants have registered their interest in a move for the 24-year-old, and could submit an official approach in the coming days.<\/p>\n
Soumano scored for Lorient in their 4-0 win over Rennes<\/a> at the weekend and has attracted the interest of a number of clubs this summer.<\/p>\n Back in June, Football Insider exclusively revealed that Sunderland, Brentford, and Burnley were all plotting moves for Soumano<\/a>, but as of yet, none of the Premier League trio have made a bid.<\/p>\n Last season, Soumano scored 14 goals in just 11 starts to spearhead Lorient\u2019s successful promotion to Ligue 1.<\/p>\n The attacker is now already off the mark in the 2025\/26 campaign after his goal against Rennes.<\/p>\n Soumano is very highly rated in France and is expected to be rewarded for his good form with his first-ever Senegal call-up, at some point over the next few months.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n Celtic<\/a> are still in the market for a centre-forward, despite their summer signing of Shin Yamada, and are now preparing a last-minute attempt to complete a deal before the window closes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Calvin Stengs could be available for a \u201crelatively small fee\u201d this summer as Celtic prepare a bid for the Feyenoord wideman<\/a>, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n The news comes against the backdrop of Premier League interest in star wideman Daizen Maeda<\/a>, who would need replacing if he departs.<\/p>\n Sources have told Football Insider that with Stengs into the final two years of his contract at Feyenoord, the Hoops may only have to pay a knock-down price to add the Dutch international.<\/p>\n Celtic have already made contact with Feyenoord<\/a> over Stengs\u2018 availability in the final days of the transfer window, after the 26-year-old was restricted to just 12 Eredivisie appearances through injury last season.<\/p>\n For more Celtic and exclusive news, follow us on Facebook<\/a> or join our brand new WhatsApp Channel<\/a> for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Related Posts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Imago\/RADIO T\u00c9L\u00c9VISION S\u00c9N\u00c9GALAISE Mon 25 August 2025 11:39, UK Celtic are readying a formal move for Lorient…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[8919,71663,403,99],"class_list":["post-108972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-celtic","tag-sambou-soumano","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Brendan](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Brendan-Rodgers-1-1-1024x721.jpg\")
