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.
