Celtic have already added one striker to their ranks in the form of Callum Osmand, a standout in Premier League 2 for Fulham last season. But it looks like the Hoops are not done and have more forwards on their radar. In fact, if rumours are accurate then they might be closing in on a move for Shin Yamada of Kawasaki Frontale as well.
Yamada has endured a tough season with Kawasaki Frontale, scoring just twice. So, there are doubts as to how much of an impact he will be able to make on Celtic, even if he arrives.
On the other hand, that might not be the end of Celtic's search for strikers this summer either. Giuseppe Ambrosino of Napoli is another player who has been linked with a move to Parkhead in recent weeks.
Celtic are believed to be working on a loan deal along with an option to buy. As reported by Gazzetta(via CeltsAreHere), Napoli manager Antonio Conte is keen to take a look at Ambrosino in pre-season before making any final decisions on his future.
Napoli make Giuseppe Ambrosino decision as Celtic work on deal
Ambrosino has yet to showcase his best form at the senior level. But he has been a standout at the youth level for both club and country.
Of course, Celtic are not the only team trying to sign Ambrosino. Cremonese are believed to have offered around €3 million for the striker as well.
Let's see what the future holds for Ambrosino. Right now, it looks like it is not certain that he will be on his way out of Napoli this summer until Conte takes a look at him in pre-season. On the other hand, it remains to be seen if or when the Hoops are able to complete a deal for Yamada.
