Medical soon: Celtic set to sign a “fantastic” upgrade on Schlupp…
Celtic are reportedly closing in on a new signing, with the player set to undergo a medical soon, in what’s being described as a “fantastic” upgrade on Jeffrey Schlupp. While Schlupp’s name had previously been linked to a potential Parkhead move, the Hoops have instead accelerated their pursuit of a younger, more dynamic alternative.
The incoming signing is said to bring greater energy, versatility, and attacking output—attributes Brendan Rodgers highly values as he reshapes his squad ahead of the new season. Sources close to the deal suggest the player can operate both centrally and out wide, providing Celtic with tactical flexibility and depth.
This addition is seen not just as a short-term boost, but as a player with significant resale potential, aligning with Celtic’s strategy of developing talent for both domestic dominance and European competition. Club insiders describe the target as “fantastic technically and tactically sharper” than Schlupp, who, despite his Premier League experience, may not have fully fit the long-term vision.
A formal announcement is expected within days, pending the completion of the medical and final terms. It’s another signal of intent from the Scottish champions as they aim to strengthen their grip on domestic silverware and make a mark in Europe.
