Celtic target Haissem Hassan is set to return to pre-season training with his team tomorrow, as there is still no agreement reached for the Egyptian winger to head to London for a Celtic medical… The club will hopefully announce Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh on a multi-million pound deal, after the Bhoys struck a record-breaking £11m transfer fee with the Norwegian side for his services. News last night, as reported on Celtic Shorts, was that the big centre-forward has completed a successful medical in London ahead of the club confirming his signing on a four-year deal later today. Martin O’Neill is looking for more quality signings Martin O’Neill is in the marketplace for several more major targets, as the squad is in desperate need of refreshment following a close shave in Scottish football last year. Hearts and Derek McInnes gave the 5IAR Champions a good run for their money, after Tony Bloom’s initial involvement at the Tynecastle club, which could have easily been avoided, had proper investment in the playing squad been achieved last summer, as Brendan Rodgers continually pleaded for. Haissem Hassan training return could clarify transfer intentions Now reports from Spain have confirmed that the World Cup star will return to pre-season training with the rest of his Real Oviedo teammates this midweek, as the Hoops’ hierarchy has yet to strike an agreement with the Segunda Division side for the transfer to proceed. That is another frustrating update for Celtic supporters, but one that we are well used to, unfortunately. La Voz de Asturias publication has reported that Hassan will join up with the Spanish outift on Wednesday, meaning nothing is expected to happen before then. Kasper Hogh capture a real coup for Celtic The Kasper Høgh capture is clearly a real coup from Celtic but it cannot stop there, as there remain massive issues all over the playing squad. Matteo Cancellieri also a player of interest for Celtic Rumours have emerged that the recruitment team have looked at Matteo Cancellieri from Lazio too, possibly as an alternative. However, both players should be getting brought to the football club as we are already desperately short of quality in that area of the team, with Sebastian Tounekti consistently inconsistent and Michel-Ange Balikwisha not up to the required standard. Yang is now back from the World Cup and veteran James Forrest both make up the winger options before Martin O’Neill considers the Academy options that might make an impact this season in the wide areas.
