Celtic fans were eagerly awaiting the Leiga Warsaw starting line up on Friday evening to see if Maik Nawrocki would be included.
The defender has been heavily linked with a move to Celtic in the past 24 hours and now he‘a missing from the Legia squad this evening, prompting speculation his move could be imminent.
It’s been a fast moving story over the last 24 hours. The defender has gone from a potential target to the club reportedly putting in a substantial bid for the 22-year-old.
Celtic are on the hunt for a centre-back to bolster their defensive line. CCV and Starfelt have the positions tied up and have been a strong pairing under Ange Postecoglou. However, the drop off in talent between those two and the rest of the centre-backs is pretty big.
If Celtic are to be successful on multiple fronts we need to add more quality.
Maik fits the profile for Celtic. A strong, robust defender who plays in a side who are dominant in possession. His age means he could be a valuable asset a few years down the line if he continues to develop.
