Returning to Celtic, Bosun Lawal is the defensive midfield player Rodgers is eyeing.

Celtic are connected with the acquisition of Charles Pickel as the Scottish Champions prepare for next season. With six games left in the season and two trophies to play for, the attention is all on bringing the title and Scottish Cup back to Celtic Park.

However, the team will prepare for the 2024/25 season by scouting, identifying, and evaluating potential transfer targets. Pickel, a Cremonese defensive midfielder, has emerged as a candidate.

The 26-year-old is a robust defensive midfielder who can also play as a right back or forward. His profile undoubtedly suits the manager’s desire to instill pace and strength in the group ahead of the new season.

Despite the fact that Celtic are already preparing for next season, the club should assess whether Bosun Lawal can play a role in the first team.

The Irish U21 standout was a regular starter in Celtic’s B Team at centre defense; but, after joining Fleetwood Town in EFL League One, the 20-year-old moved to midfield.

Despite frequent changes in management at Fleetwood, with Scott Brown, Lee Johnson, and Charlie Adam all serving periods during the disastrous season, Lawal was a steady performer.

Lawal appeared in 46 games in all competitions, scoring six goals and assisting twice, earning acclaim from his managers for his poise in the middle of the park.

Brendan Rodgers would most likely want to see the player back at Lennoxtown as he decides whether to loan him out again or incorporate him into his first squad.

The Celtic manager has stated that he wants to have a steady stream of players coming through the academy to augment and feature in the first squad.
