Celtic fans have been waiting for some good news for days, as the club's transfer business continues to drag on once again. One would have hoped that they would learn their lesson after the disaster that was the summer window. Unfortunately, it looks like that did not happen and the Hoops are continuing to make the same mistakes.
On the other hand, there might be some reason to worry regarding their current crop of players as well. It looks like one of their most in-form performers has caught the eye of teams in Italy.
As reported by the Daily Record, Fiorentina and Lazio are weighing up bids for Auston Trusty. The centre-back has caught the eye of the Italian clubs with his displays in Europe this season.
Trusty was signed by Celtic last season from Sheffield United for a transfer fee believed to be in the region of £6 million. To be honest, he did seem to struggle a bit in his debut campaign with the Hoops and ended up losing his place in the starting XI. As a result, it had looked like this was another recruitment error on the part of the Scottish giants, but fortunately, the American international has proven the critics wrong this season with a string of solid displays and is an undisputed starter now.
'Weigh up bids' - Celtic handed bad news before deadline day
Trusty is one of the best players in the Premiership on current form, and arguably Celtic's most important. The Hoops simple cannot afford to lose him.
And to be honest, Italian clubs are not known to make giant bids. So, it might not be very difficult for Celtic to turn down whatever offer comes in.
In the long run, Trusty might already be emerging as someone who will be constantly linked with a move away. Let's see how long he stays at Celtic Park.
