Kasper Dolberg has been named in Anderlecht’s matchday squad for their crunch Belgian Pro League fixture against Union Saint-Gilloise, amid strong links to a late move to Celtic.

The Danish striker’s inclusion suggests there’s been no immediate breakthrough in transfer talks, despite reports from Italy this week claiming Celtic and Borussia Mönchengladbach have both made concrete moves to sign the 27-year-old.

Celtic are in urgent need of a new striker ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, with Dolberg emerging as the club’s main target. However, with the player still involved in first-team affairs at Anderlecht, any move now appears to be going to the wire.

Dolberg, who joined the Belgian side in the summer of 2023 from Sevilla, has been involved in recent weeks.

His availability for today’s match will only add fuel to the speculation, as Celtic weigh up a move to bring him to Parkhead in time to bolster their attacking options.

Meanwhile, Adam Idah’s proposed transfer to Swansea City continues to hang in the balance.

The Irish forward has completed a medical and agreed personal terms with the Championship club, but Brendan Rodgers has blocked the move for now, insisting Celtic must secure a replacement before allowing Idah to leave.

With the clock ticking and Dolberg still active in Anderlecht’s squad, Celtic are facing a tight deadline to wrap up their business. Whether the Danish international lines up in Brussels or boards a flight to Glasgow over the next 48 hours remains to be seen.
