Vasilis Barkas Celtic transfer exit takes a turn as Swedish side no longer keen on misfit keeper

Celtic flop Vasilis Barkas may need to look elsewhere to find his next club – after the Swedish side reportedly interested in him looked elsewhere.

The Greek keeper has made just two appearances all season - the first coming before Joe Hart's arrival as the undisputed Parkhead No.1 in a home Champions League qualifier against Midtjylland.

That was with the Ange Postecoglou era just getting started as all players were given a clean slate but he failed to impress and his only other outing was at St Johnstone on Boxing Day when both Joe Hart and Scott Bain were missing.

So the writing appears to be on the wall and IFK Goteborg were interested in a January switch, according to local media.

The Swedish transfer window remains open but now the prospective new suitors for Barkas have reportedly decided on an alternative.

Aftonbladet claim it's now Bournemouth's Norwegian keeper Orjan Nyland they're after.

And that means Postecoglou will need to find an alternative club to take Celtic's £4.5m man off his hands.
