Celtic are looking to strengthen all across the pitch this summer. Of course, the fans have been left worried by their lack of activity in terms of signings in recent weeks, as the complete focus appears to have been on finding new homes, both permanent and temporary, for their players. But with the new campaign less than a week away, hopefully, the Scottish champions will change direction very soon.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Nygren has already impressed in midfield since arriving this summer. But he is also capable of playing on the wing, a position where Celtic<\/a> are light on options and struggling to make additions, clear from their multiple failed bids to sign Jakob Breum and the never-ending Michel-Ange Balikwisha saga.<\/p>\n So, do not be surprised if Celtic end up trying to make another midfield addition. Josh Brownhill is someone who has been linked with a move to Parkhead for a little while, and now, that move might have become a lot easier to pull off.<\/p>\n As reported by the Daily Record<\/a>, the Brownhill to Celtic transfer door has now opened a bit wider. Brendan Rodgers is said to still be keen on the midfielder but West Ham United are also interested in him.<\/p>\n Celtic tipped to sign \u20ac14m player for free after announcement<\/p>\n Of course, this is in reference to Brownhill announcing that he has decided to leave Burnley this summer after five and a half years with the Championship club. He made the announcement on his Instagram<\/a>, posting an emotional goodbye message to the supporters.<\/p>\n The free agency does come at the perfect time for Brownhill. He is 29 years of age and in the middle of his prime. That is showing on the pitch as well.<\/p>\n Brownhill scored 18 goals and provided 6 assists in the Championship last season. Phenomenal numbers for a midfielder. And he does have Premier League experience under his belt as well, having made 111 appearances in the English top flight.<\/p>\n
