Casper Tengstedt Celtic transfer setback as Benfica 'close in' on Rosenborg star with fee revealed

Celtic look like they won't be getting target Casper Tengstedt in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The Rosenborg forward, who has reportedly taken the interest of the Scottish champions in recent weeks, looks set to join Portuguese giants Benfica - the club that Celtic signed star man Jota from in the summer. It appears Tengstedt had been on a list of targets for Ange Postecoglou after it was revealed Giorgos Giakoumakis could soon leave Glasgow, with South Korean forward Cho Gue-sung a strong contender.

The 22-year-old Danish forward himself admitted that he was aware of Celtic's interest, but now it appears Benfica representatives are in London to discuss a move to Portugal, after the striker did not train with Rosenborg in their pre-season camp in Gran Canaria.
