Celtic’s pursuit of LAFC’s Mateusz Bogusz is set to intensify following the conclusion of the Leagues Cup.
Despite LAFC’s 3-1 defeat to Columbus Crew, Bogusz managed to assist, maintaining his form as a key player for his team. The match ended in disappointment for LAFC with Columbus scoring twice in injury time.
Watch his assist from the corner:

Celtic are looking to enhance their attacking capabilities, seeing him as a versatile player who can operate across the front three and in an attacking midfield role.
However, it’s clear from looking at the player that Bogusz is not being eyed as a direct replacement for Matt O’Riley, suggesting Celtic may still be in the market for another midfielder to fill that specific role, with Arne Engels a name linked to Celtic over the past week.
