Celtic transfer ‘target’ with outstanding leadership available for free as ex-Chelsea + Everton man hunts club

This summer, Asmir Begovic became a free agent, with Celtic reportedly interested.

The goalkeeper has formerly played for Stoke City, Everton, Chelsea, AC Milan, and other clubs. Another can now be

added to QPR, as the Championship club confirms he is leaving after one season at Loftus Road.

Begovic was instrumental in the club’s retention of its second-tier status, appearing in 46 matches across all

competitions. CEO Christian Nourry said: “On behalf of the entire football club, I’d like to express my heartfelt

gratitude to Asmir for all of his contributions.” “His exceptional leadership qualities helped the group immeasurably

when times were toughest.” I have a lot of respect for Asmir as a person and a professional, and I wish him all the

best in his future endeavors.”

Begovic, along with Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, has been linked with replacing Joe Hart at Celtic

this summer, after the veteran England international retired. When asked directly about his ambitions for next

season, including ties to Celtic, the former Everton and Chelsea goalkeeper told talkSPORT earlier this month: “I am

now considering options.

“We’re talking to QPR and seeing what happens there, what happens in the next few weeks; it’s still early in the

transfer window. Nothing has been decided yet. I’m staying myself fit. I really enjoyed last year because I played so

many games.

“In the second half of the season, our team really came together. Let’s see if we can keep this bunch of players

together, take another shot at it next year, see what else is available, and go from there.”
