Celtic have been linked with a long list of players in recent months as things are picking up pace in the summer transfer window. The Hoops have already made multiple signings and more are expected to be made over the coming weeks. One would hope that an addition is made on the flank in the very near future.
Firstly, because Jota might not play again this year, having picked up a long-term injury towards the end of the campaign. Secondly, there are plenty of rumours surrounding the future of Nicolas Kuhn, who seems to be drawing the interest of clubs like Como FC, RB Leipzig, Newcastle United and more. Under such circumstances, rarely does a player remain at Parkhead.
Michel-Ange Balikwisha is one winger Celtic have been linked with for a long time. But recently, it had looked like the saga involving the Belgian player had stalled, thanks to Royal Antwerp's high asking price., believed to be in the region of £5.1 million.
Now, it appears that the Balikwisha to Celtic saga could be back on. As reported by Voetbal Primeur (via CeltsAreHere) now claim that Antwerp may be willing to drop their asking price to around £4.6 million.
Massive U-turn in Michel-Ange Balikwisha to Celtic saga
Let's see if Balikwisha ends up joining Celtic this summer. He spent a large portion of the previous campaign out injured, which is why his transfer valuation has dropped since last summer.
Of course, he is not believed to be the only winger on Celtic's radar. They have plenty of other ones as well, with one of them being Sondre Orjasaeter.
If Kuhn does not leave Celtic this summer, then the picture will look very different. But for now, it appears that signing another winger is going to be a priority for Brendan Rodgers' side.
