Forget Horkas and Ernst, Celtic should go all out for Livakovic | OneFootball

It’s no secret that Celtic are in the market for a new number one, and in recent weeks we’ve been credited with concrete interest in Croatian Dinko Horkas, and German Tjark Ernst with both players camps said to have been sounded out about a move to the 5IAR Scottish Champions…

I’m sure both players have are decent enough, but for me we should be going for a man I’ve written about on a regular basis on The Celtic Star and now on our new home at Celtic Shorts, and that is Croatian number one Dominik Livakovic.

Livakovic is a truly class act who is fully proven at the highest level, and he showed that yet again in his four match outing with his nation at the World Cup. Croatia were eliminated in the last 32, but only just by Portugal.

At only 31, the man who spent the second half of last season on loan at Dinamo Zagreb, is relatively young in goalkeeping terms, and would only cost around £5 million due to being out of favour at current club Fenerbahce, who shouldn’t be too hard to deal with regarding any proposed move.

When it comes to club football, Livakovic has also played the majority of this career at the top level, winning titles, and cups in his native Croatia, whilst also playing regularly in European football. He’s a class act, and he’s experienced, and he’s very much the man we need to occupy the gloves at. Celtic Park.

Whilst both Horkas and Tjark might be viewed as more ‘up and coming’ talents, and have their own separate attributes, they don’t posses the ability or experience of Livakovic, nowhere near it to be honest.

So for the umpteenth time, I’m writing about how and why we should go all out for Dominik Livakovic. He’s not only talented and experienced, but more importantly in the eyes of the club, he’s now also affordable.

What a signing he would be!
