Celtic refuse £4m asking price, Ange returns for ex-Celtic target, plus Rangers, Hearts, Hibs latest –

rumour mill

The latest January transfer news and speculation involving Scottish Premiership sides

Mika Biereth, an attacker, has been called back by Arsenal following his season-long loan at Motherwell.

Denmark Under-21 international. “Mika has been recalled,” stated Stuart Kettlewell, manager of

Motherwell. We’ve had a challenging one over the past twenty-four hours. It’s really, really

disappointing.This came as a slight surprise. Just last week, there was a debate about Mika staying on

until the end of the season, barring Arsenal receiving an offer they couldn’t refuse. They think there’s a

chance to move him to a different club where he can advance beyond where we are right now.

Celtic rejects a £4 million offer.

Tiago Araujo of Estoril is reportedly a target for Celtic, although the Scottish champions are unwilling to

pay his asking price. The Daily Record claims that the Portuguese team has priced the left-back out of a

move to Parkhead by requesting a £4 million payment, which the Parkhead hierarchy is unwilling to do.

It doesn’t appear probable that the 22-year-old would sign with Celtic during the January transfer

window unless Estoril drastically lowers their asking price.

Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Spurs, is reportedly pursuing a center-back that he attempted to

recruit for Celtic but was unable to. When Postecoglou initially arrived at Parkhead, Ko Itakura was

connected to a move from Manchester City to Celtic, but he chose to go on loan to Schalke 04 before

paying £4.3 million to join Borussia Mochengladbach. Now that he’s back on the scene, Postecoglou is

allegedly considering taking the 26-year-old to Tottenham. The move might not occur until the summer,

when his rumored £13 million release clause expires, according to Sky Germany.

Serie A is reportedly showing more interest in Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke, who now looks to be at

the center of a three-way trade scuffle. After joining Celtic in the summer from IF Elfsborg, the Swedish

center back is only six months into a five-year contract. However, he will be free to leave on loan in

January if he doesn’t make the first team. Hellas Verona has reportedly entered the running with Lecce

and Genoa, who were previously connected to Lagerbielke during the window, according to the Daily

Record.
