Celtic have been linked with a number of players over the last few months as the expectation is that they will strengthen in a number of positions across the pitch. One of them is on the flanks, especially due to the fact that Nicolas Kuhn could be heading out of the club in the summer, having been linked with quite a few Premier League teams in recent times.

If Kuhn does leave, that will leave a hole on the flanks for Celtic. One that they will need to fill before the close of the summer transfer window.

They have been linked with a few wingers in recent times. But if fan interaction is anything to go by, there seems to be a clear favourite.

As reported by the Daily Record, Borja Sainz is third on Celtic fans' most wanted transfer targets this summer. He has 13650 searches. That is more than twice as many as Mathias Kvistgaarden with 6500. The only two names ahead of him are Kieran Tierney, who will definitely join the club, and Luis Palma, who looks set to leave.

Sainz currently plays down south in England for Norwich City in the Championship. The Spanish winger has enjoyed quite the season as well.

He has scored 17 goals and provided 4 assists in 40 games in the Championship for the Canaries this season. So, it might be the right time to make a move for the in-form Spanish winger.

That being said, it is also worth mentioning that his form in the second half of the season has not been as good as the first, just like Kuhn's. Since the start of December, the Spaniard has scored just twice in the Championship. He had 15 in the opening 18 games.

There is no doubt that Sainz knows his way to the back of the net, as he also scored 3 goals in 5 appearances for Spain U19. And at 24 years of age, he has plenty of room to grow as a player, too.
