Sydney van Hooijdonk opens up on transfer interest amid Celtic striker search

Sydney van Hooijdonk has addressed reports linking him with a move away from Bologna amid Celtic's hunt for a striker in the January window.

The Dutchman has long been linked with following in his father Pierre's footsteps and making the move to Parkhead.

Van Hooijdonk has played just 11 times for the Serie A outfit so far this season, scoring once.

And he opened up on his future. Speaking to DAZN, he said: "Now, I want to score and win. Then we will see how football goes, it's like this, in football everything can change quickly."

Brendan Rodgers has previously made no secret of the fact that the club is in the market for another striker with Kyogo Furuhashi being only one currently available for selection.

Meanwhile, Gustaf Lagerbielke is reportedly "no closer" to finding a new club and leaving Celtic.

This is according to the Daily Record who claim that the centre-back appears to be staying put at Parkhead despite recent interest from Serie A.

Lagerbielke joined from Elfsborg for £3million during the summer transfer window but has struggled to make an impact at Parkhead.

The Sweden international has made just nine appearances for the Scottish champions, with his only goal coming in the 2-1 victory over Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Despite injuries earlier in the season to Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh, the 23-year-old struggled for regular minutes and more recently failed to make match day squads.
