Celtic could reportedly step up Bazoumana Toure interest after being impressed by his progress

Celtic are already conducting due diligence on potential future transfer targets as Brendan Rodgers seeks to bolster his talented group.

Eight summer signings, including the arrivals of Arne Engels for £11 million and Adam Idah for £9.5 million inclusive of add-ons, have

demonstrated their desire to push the boat out in the market in comparison to previous years. Despite late interest in a winger, Lazio’s

Gustav Isaksen, the Bhoys decided to leave their present wide options in place for the first half of the season.

Nonetheless, one name discussed in connection with Celtic throughout the summer was Hammarby’s Bazoumana Toure, whom the club

scouted earlier this year despite the fact that a bid was doubtful at the time.

Previously, Bayer Leverkusen, Crystal Palace, and Eintracht Frankfurt were all chasing the teenage attacker as he had a strong debut in

Sweden, scoring six goals and assisting three times in 16 senior matches.

More information has emerged about Celtic’s interest in the Ivory Coast Under-20 international.

After conducting additional scouting checks on Toure, Celtic are claimed to be’seriously interested’ in the versatile potential after chief

scout Joe Lefevre was left ‘impressed’ by what he saw from the teenager. According to the outlet, Hammarby has set an asking price of

roughly €10 million for the budding star, which equates to around £8.35 million if the Bhoys confirm their adoration in January or later.

Finally, it is unclear whether this saga has legs. Benfica, the Portuguese giants, have been cited as a fresh suitor for Toure’s contract,

demonstrating how highly regarded he is by notable sides across European football.

It is well known that Celtic has the financial resources to pull off such a transfer. However, if any hunt becomes viable, there will very

certainly be fierce rivalry.

In any case, it’s encouraging to hear that the Bhoys are already making plans for the next transfer window.

Nothing is set in stone, and there hasn’t been much discussion regarding potential targets, but the club appears to be working behind the

scenes. Lets see what happens.
