Celtic have done a wonderful job strengthening their squad over the course of this summer transfer window, and they do not seem to have any plans of stopping either. The next man who looks set to arrive at Parkhead this summer is Sead Haksabanovic, and that move appears to be on the verge of completion. And even after that, there could be a few more additions.
Thus, it is safe to say that these are exciting times if you are a Celtic fan. And another interesting name who has been linked with the club in recent times is Edouard Michut, who is currently at Paris Saint-Germain and rated at a transfer fee around £5 million.
The rumours linking Celtic and Michut first broke out more than a month ago, but have led nowhere till now. Yet, they have refused to go away either. Could there be a late move on the cards?
There seems to be no lack of interest in the signature of the attacking midfielder though. As tweeted out by Fabrizio Romano, Sunderland have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Michut. He is their dream signing.

It does feel unlikely that Celtic would make a move for Michut this summer, if they do get a deal over the line for Haksabanovic.
While the Montenegro international has played on the wing a lot, there are many who believe that his best position is in attacking midfield.
On the other hand, it is extremely unlikely that Celtic would spend a transfer fee in the region of £5 million on a 19-year-old attacking midfielder. At best, they could end up making a loan move for him.
On the other hand, Sunderland could be looking to make a statement, as they aim to return to the Premier League.
