Celtic Move Ahead in Chase for Frosinone Winger Fares Ghedjemis
A transfer would test whether Celtic are willing to meet Frosinone’s reported £10m-plus valuation.
Overview
- Football Insider reports Celtic are currently ahead of Rangers in the race for 23-year-old Fares Ghedjemis and see an opening after Rangers shifted interest to another wide player.
- Frosinone have rejected a recent offer from Celtic and are understood to want about £10m or more to consider selling the forward.
- Multiple Serie A clubs are also tracking Ghedjemis, which increases competition and makes a move to Scotland harder to complete.
- Brentford have told Celtic they will not sell At 20-year-old Benjamin Arthur this summer and would only agree to another loan unless injuries force the London club to keep him available.
- Ghedjemis scored 15 goals to help Frosinone win promotion last season, a record that has raised his price and gives his club a strong incentive to retain him for the step up to Serie A.
