Celtic wait for midfielder Sigur - gossip

What the report says

Celtic are said to have moved forward in their search for a midfielder, with BBC Sport Football citing reports that the club has made progress on a deal for Niko Sigur. The 22-year-old is expected to be tied up with Hadjuk Split’s push for the Conference League, which could delay any move. The update places Celtic among several Scottish clubs active in the late stages of the transfer window.

BBC Sport Football also reported that Celtic are in advanced talks over a possible transfer for Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Balazs Toth, with the fee thought by the source reports to be around £4m. In a separate report, Gvidas Gineitis has emerged again as a possible target after a proposed move by Red Bull Salzburg for the Torino midfielder reportedly stalled. The article also noted that winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha is attracting interest from clubs including Elversberg, Basel and Monza, with the player described as not being part of manager Martin O’Neill’s plans.

Elsewhere in the gossip roundup, Rangers may be close to adding Aston Villa defender Kosta Nedeljkovic in time for their Conference League play-off, while Wolves have reportedly made contact about Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry after a Rangers bid was unsuccessful. Dundee, meanwhile, are nearing a loan deal for Swansea City striker Bobby Wales, though other clubs are also said to be interested. The broader context is that Scottish clubs are continuing to shape their squads ahead of European fixtures and the closing stages of the transfer market.
