Cheap Filet deal there for the taking
Celtic have been told a relatively cheap offer for striker Elias Filet would be accepted by FC Aarau this summer. The 6ft 1in forward has only one year left on his Swiss Challenge League contract and the club would not stand in his way if a decent bid arrives (1). Martin O'Neill is keen to bring in a dominant, physical presence up top and Filet ticks those boxes. It would be a gamble given he plays in Switzerland's second tier, but the price is right and your squad needs depth beyond Daizen Maeda (2).
Johnston shines at the World Cup
Alistair Johnston played the full 90 minutes in Canada's 1–1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the World Cup on Monday. Despite an early yellow card that compromised his afternoon, Johnston shut down Bosnia's attack with authority. The stats back up the eye test: he won 100% of his aerial duels and delivered a performance that had the Canadian media praising his composure (3) (6). Ready-made for another big season at right-back.
Engels on Napoli's radar
Napoli are reportedly eyeing a move for Celtic midfielder Arne Engels (5). The Belgian was a key figure in your double-winning campaign under O'Neill, and interest from Serie A was always likely. No formal bid yet, but this is one to watch as the summer window starts to heat up.
Tahirovic fluffs his audition
If Celtic were scouting Benjamin Tahirovic at the World Cup, they didn't see his best. The Brondby midfielder struggled badly during Bosnia and Herzegovina's group-stage match against Canada on Friday, with his full stats painting a grim picture (4). With Bobby Clark also linked as a midfield target, that performance may nudge O'Neill's thinking in a different direction.
