‘Huge funds’ for ‘A-list talent’ Hearts and Hibs rivals battle for in-demand duo while Celtic gets ready
After a dramatic 1-1 draw at Tynecastle Park that saw objects hurled from the crowd rain down on Lawrence Shankland, Hearts and Hibs have both secured victories in their Scottish Premiership campaigns.
The Hibees defeated Ross County 2-0 at Easter Road, Hearts overcame a 10-man Celtic team to make a statement and maintain their command of third place, while leaders Rangers lost to Motherwell.
We’ve looked at some of the most recent transfer rumors at the top of the Premiership as the summer transfer window draws nearer. These are the most recent reports on the league rivals of Hearts and Hibs.
According to reports, the two Glasgow teams are at odds over more than just the Premiership title this year. Celtic and Rangers are reportedly interested in recruiting Leopold Querfeld and Matthias Seidl of Rapid Vienna. This information comes from HITC.
The latter only joined the Austrian team in the summer, and despite his strong midfield play—he has nine goals and six assists—he will probably be difficult to get. Vienna’s contract with center back Querfeld is about to expire, therefore the team may decide to take advantage of the opportunity to cash in this summer.
Due to the involvement of teams like Crystal Palace, Fulham, Burnley, Wolves, and Leicester City, both Seidl and Querfeld are drawing a lot of interest from England.
After selling Liel Abada to MLS team Charlotte FC for £10 million, Celtic is currently searching the market for a wing replacement. Brendan Rodgers’ team has reportedly set aside “huge funds” in order to replace an attacker who is considered a “A-list talent” this summer, according to Football Insider.
After spending two and a half years at Parkhead, Abada departs, and Celtic is already “laying the groundwork” to sign a replacement winger. They are in the process of compiling a shortlist of potential targets for consideration when the transfer window opens. They are reportedly looking for an attacker who can provide pace and direction down the flank, someone who plays similarly to Abada.
