Celtic could move for Torino star Gvidas Gineitis | OneFootball

Celtic have identified Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis as a potential replacement for Arne Engels, according to the Scottish Sun.

Gineitis has been watched in recent months by the Scottish Premiership champions. However, the ‘powerful‘ 6ft 3in Lithuanian international will not come cheap.

The 22-year-old has three years left on his contract and the Serie A club will demand a sizeable fee.

Gineitis has made 32 appearances at senior level for his country and brings much-needed quality to the table.

Replacing Engels could prove to be a tall order for the Hoops, but Gineitis has what it takes given his versatility and skill set.

The Torino star constantly breaks the lines and is brave on the ball.

Gineitis’ physique, athleticism and off-the-ball movement would help him hit the ground running in the Premiership.

The Bhoys are looking to retain their title next season, but they also hope to impress in the Champions League.

Gineitis would be a shrewd addition, but Celtic will need to push out the boat to secure his services.

Manager Martin O”Neill needs quality additions to boost his side’s chances in Europe, and the Lithuanian would improve his squad.
