The latest striker to be linked with a move to Celtic is Giuseppe Ambrosino. The Italian youth international is on the books at Napoli right now, having come through the Serie A champions' youth ranks, but he has never made a senior appearance for them. Instead, he has played for teams like Como, Cittadella, Catanzaro and Frosinone on loan.

We have never seen Ambrosino score goals consistently at the senior level. But he was an elite goalscorer in youth football. In 52 U19 games for Napoli, he scored 27 times. The hope is that it eventually translates.

On paper, a move for Ambrosino certainly makes sense for a club like Celtic, who do not necessarily need someone to come in as a starter but could do with another genuine option up top. And it looks like they are now working on a potential move for the Italian forward.

As reported by Sky Sports, Celtic have made an enquiry for Ambrosino. The Glasgow giants are exploring the conditions of a loan deal, with an option to buy. The Napoli striker is said to be keen on a move to the Scottish champions.

Of course, Ambrosino's interest in the move does come as a boost for Celtic. It certainly helps their chances of landing his signature.

A loan deal might make sense for all parties involved. With how things have turned out for Ambrosino at the senior level so far, it is unlikely that Napoli would be able to draw a significant offer for his permanent transfer.

Let's see how things play out from here. It is worth mentioning that Celtic have signed another young striker this summer, bringing in Callum Osmand from Fulham. He was recently nominated for Premier League 2 Player of the Season.
