Hassan priority target for Celtic - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish gossip roundup, published on 18 July 2026, says Real Oviedo and Egypt attacker Haissem Hassan has emerged as a priority transfer target for Celtic, attributing the claim to The Sun. The 24-year-old winger is one of several attacking names linked with the Scottish champions in the roundup, which also cites Football Insider reporting that Celtic are considering a move for Hearts forward Claudio Braga, 26.

The BBC item also notes, via the Glasgow Times, that Manchester United defender Tyler Fredricson, 21, is expected to depart Old Trafford, with Celtic among the clubs previously linked with him. No fee, contract length or formal bid is reported in the BBC summary for any of the Celtic-linked players, so the items remain transfer-market claims rather than confirmed moves.

Elsewhere in Scottish football, BBC Sport cites The Sun as reporting that Motherwell have agreed to sell 26-year-old winger Elliot Watt to Turkish club Samsunspor for a fee above £1m. It also includes a Rangers-related claim from Sam C on X that Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto Dahl, 20, wants a move to Ibrox, with Rangers seeking player exits to help finance a deal.

The roundup adds that Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson is still working on further recruitment while also expecting departures from Pittodrie in the coming weeks, citing the Press and Journal and the Daily Record. It also reports, through the Edinburgh Evening News, that four recent Hearts arrivals are not in the club’s 22-man squad for a Champions League qualifier against Sturm Graz.
