Celtic Reportedly Among Clubs Linked With Rodez Winger Taïryk Arconte

The claim is unconfirmed, so any approach may be delayed by Celtic’s unresolved managerial appointment and by the need to agree a fee for a player on a two‑year Rodez contract.

Overview

  • French outlet Foot Mercato, as relayed by the Daily Record, reports that Celtic have joined Auxerre and Millwall in expressing interest in 22‑year‑old Taïryk Arconte; the coverage is unconfirmed by the clubs or player.
  • Arconte scored 14 goals and provided four assists in a breakout 2025–26 season for Rodez, a performance that helped the club reach the Ligue 1 play‑offs.
  • Arconte is a Guadeloupe international with three goals in seven caps and previously played for Pau, Brest and AC Ajaccio before joining Rodez last year.
  • Rodez hold Arconte on a contract with two years remaining, which would likely require a transfer fee and could complicate or slow any negotiations.
  • Celtic’s imminent summer business is tied to a permanent manager decision, so reported interest should be seen as early transfer‑window speculation rather than an active bid.
