Celtic ‘target’ drops transfer hint that he’s ready for next challenge

Mathias Kvistgaarden has openly reiterated that he is ready to leave Brondby this summer.

The Celtic-linked forward has been a target for the Scottish Premiership champions throughout the previous two transfer windows yet nothing has come to fruition.

The 22-year-old has publicly stated that he did not engage in any negotiations with Parkhead representatives - but has not shut the door on the possibility of a future move to Glasgow’s East End.

This summer, clubs from across Europe are said to be monitoring the situation, with RB Salzburg joining Brendan Rodgers' side in the pursuit of the player.

Kvistgaarden has now dropped his most significant hint yet that he could be on the move in the upcoming transfer window as he was quizzed on his career next steps by Danish outlet Campo.

"There is no doubt about that," he explained. "I think I have shown myself in a lot of ways, which means that I have shown that I can hopefully also play internationally at some point."

Celtic are in the market for alterations in the attacking areas with on-loan Adam Idah returning to Norwich City and Oh Hyeon-gyu struggling to show enough to prove that he can displace Kyogo Furuhashi up-front. 

They are also after a new goalkeeper following Joe Hart’s retirement at the end of the last campaign. While Player of the Year, Matt O’Riley, will no doubt attract interest from across Europe.
