Celtic favourites to sign Las Palmas goalkeeper as Spanish club drop €10m asking price | OneFootball

Celtic are reportedly the favourites to sign Dinko Horkas from Las Palmas. The 27-year-old has caught the eye of the Celtic scouts and could make a move to Paradise to compete with Vil Sinisalo for the No.1 spot.

According to Spanish outlet La Provincia, Las Palmas could be set to let the Croatian goalkeeper move on for a bargain fee of between €4-7m, lower than their initial asking price of €10m.

The report says that while Celtic have not made an offer yet, they are in the most advanced position to sign the player. There are others interested in the goalkeeper, who will head to Marbella with his side tomorrow.

Celtic are in the market for another goalkeeper to compete with Sinisalo for the spot between the sticks. Kasper Schmeichel’s injury and subsequent retirement streamlined Finnish International Sinisalo’s ascendancy to the No.1 role but he requires competition.

Celtic supporters are eager to see the squad strengthened in the coming weeks as just Camilo Duran has joined. It has been clear since the beginning of last season that major surgery was required on this side but as of yet, progress has been limited.

Celtic have reportedly reignited their interest in Bodo Glimt attacker Kasper Hogh. The Danish Internationalist was a transfer target in January but no deal was forthcoming as the Norwegian side progressed into the next round of the UEFA Champions League. £7m is the asking price and it looks like one that makes sense for Celtic, especially given that we are light in the forward areas.
