Celtic is making moves in the transfer market with the potential arrivals of Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo to strengthen their goalkeeping department under Brendan Rodgers. Talks are also ongoing for the return of Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah, with Michel-Ange Balikwisha from Royal Antwerp identified as a target to bolster the wide areas.
Rodgers is prioritizing quality over quantity in his signings, aiming to improve the team’s productivity in the final third. While Celtic has a number of wingers to choose from, there is a need for more consistent chance creation and goal-scoring abilities. Balikwisha’s impressive record of ten goals and eight assists last season showcases his potential impact on the team.
In addition to his attacking contributions, Balikwisha’s defensive stats are also noteworthy. He has a high win rate in tackles, a significant number of duels won, and interceptions, demonstrating his ability to contribute defensively as well. His experience in the Champions League with Antwerp further adds to his value as a potential signing for Celtic.
Rodgers has been vocal about his intention to bring quality additions to the team, and Balikwisha’s performance statistics suggest that he could be a valuable asset for the club. With ongoing discussions and a reported desire from both sides to make the deal happen, Celtic fans can look forward to seeing a potentially impactful addition to their squad in the near future.
