John Hartson says Celtic move to bring in free-scoring Bojan Miovski would be ‘good business’

Celtic could be on the market for a striker this season as Brendan Rodgers wants to provide help for Kyogo Furuhashi in attack.

Furuhashi is the only senior option at Parkhead who is naturally a center-forward, while Hyeongyu Oh and Daizen Maeda are now involved in the AFC Asian Cup.

Irish manager Brendan Rodgers has hinted that movement into the club may occur before the deadline; however, he has not specified which positions he may aim to fill in the coming days.

Following his team’s tight victory over Ross County, the 51-year-old commented, “Hopefully there will be movement, that’s the plan.” Bringing in a player who can help us improve and develop. We’ll know in the next days, but hopefully this is the case.”

Bologna striker Sydney van Hooijdonk is currently the most sought-after target due to uncertainty over his future at the Serie A club.

Recently, the Bhoys have considered Matthias Kvistgaarden, Lawrence Shankland, and Bojan Miovski as potential replacements for the number nine position.

Either way, there is a palpable sense of expectation among supporters as they wait to see if the Scottish Premiership holders will bolster their ranks.

John Hartson tips Celtic to pursue Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski

John Hartson knows a thing or two about hitting the back of the net in Celtic colours and has advised his old club to pursue a move for Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski, who has hit 17 goals and four assists in 32 appearances this term [Transfermarkt].

Speaking to the Sunday Post (28/01, print edition) relayed via Football Scotland, Hartson stated: “I’ve seen Bojan Miovski a few times and I really like the look of him. I think he’d do well at Celtic. He has been a regular goalscorer for Aberdeen and knows what it takes at this level and for his country, Macedonia.

“Bojan has a nice first touch, holds the ball up well and brings others into play. He also powers towards goal when the time is right and causes defenders all sorts of problems.

“In terms of a transfer fee, different numbers have been mentioned, from £3million to £6m. The bottom line is that Aberdeen will have their value and any interested club will know what they think he’s worth. Personally, I’d have him in the bracket between £3.5m and £4m. That would be good business.”

Aberdeen’s Bojan Miovski would tick a lot of boxes for Celtic

Miovski has certainly been impressive for Aberdeen this campaign and would be a shrewd signing for Celtic.

Nonetheless, Barry Robson has recently reiterated his desire to keep the North Macedonia international at Pittodrie 

According to Sofascore, the 24-year-old averages 2.8 shots and 0.5 goals per match in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The former MTK Budapest forward differs from Furuhashi in that he can hold the ball up as well as receive crosses.

With the window nearing its end, it appears unlikely that the Hoops will be able to get Miovski to Parkhead; nevertheless, we will need to wait and see if there is movement on that front before the end of play.
