Celtic transfer latest as Ange Postecoglou opens up on Edouard Michut and Aaron Mooy links

Ange Posteoclgou admits he is still working on some transfer targets - as he addressed links with Edouard Michut and Aaron Mooy.

The Celtic boss has been busy in the transfer market to date. He's spent nearly £17million to turn Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota's loans into permanent deals from Tottenham and Benfica, while recruiting Alexandro Bernabei from Lanus and snapping up Benjamin Siegrist and Daizen Maeda on full-time terms.

The Premiership season is still two weeks away as the Hoops continue their pre-season preparations for the big-kick off against Aberdeen. They have the added incentive this summer of no early European qualifiers, with deals not necessarily needing rushed through.

The Aussie boss admits he is still working away in the background and knows exactly what he wants as he bids to strengthen his champions once again. But any talk over PSG kid Michut are wide of the mark, with the Celtic gaffer hailing him as a good football- but not one he is looking to bring onboard.

Mooy is another player he knows well as he heaped praise on the midfielder and reckons he will 'get picked up' no problem.

He said: “We are still working away in the background. We know what we need. We are working with some targets.

“We are in no rush to get it done. There is nothing, in terms of players we are being linked to at the moment, that’s going to happen in the near future.

“Or at all, in some of the cases. I have an interest in every good footballer in the world — but there is a limited market I can tap into.

“We have got a plan that we are sticking to and so far I am pretty happy with the progress we’re making on all fronts. And hopefully there will be some news coming out in the next few weeks before the season starts.”

On Michut, Postecoglou said: “Yeah, good player, but no.”

And on Mooy, he added: “Aaron’s a fantastic footballer, somebody I know really well. I guess he’s getting linked with us.

“I’m sure he’ll get picked up, he’s a good player, a talented player. He’s another footballer who is very much talented and very much in my range.

"But, that doesn’t mean we’re going to bring him in, no.”
