Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, seems keen on bolstering his team’s attacking prowess following recent struggles. The club, currently facing a tighter race in the Scottish Premiership, is reportedly leading the charge to secure the services of a new forward in the upcoming January transfer window.
Recent defeats to Kilmarnock and Hearts have seen Celtic’s lead at the top of the table shrink, prompting Rodgers to publicly apologize to the fans for the team’s subpar performance. Expressing disappointment in the lack of consistency, mentality, and desire, Rodgers appears determined to address these shortcomings by considering reinforcements in the attacking department.
Reports from Portugal, as relayed by Sport Witness, suggest that Celtic and their rivals Rangers are both interested in Wolves forward Fabio Silva. The 21-year-old, who joined Wolves in 2020 from FC Porto in a €40m deal, is reportedly set to leave Molineux. While an unnamed Spanish club has shown interest, Celtic and Rangers are said to be at the forefront of the race for his signature, although the nature of the transfer (loan or permanent) is not specified.
Despite Silva’s struggles to find the back of the net consistently during his time at Wolves, making only five goals in 72 appearances, there is optimism surrounding his potential impact. Having had loan spells at PSV Eindhoven and Anderlecht, where he showcased improved form, Silva may see a move to Scotland as an opportunity to revive his career.
Former teammate Conor Coady at Wolves has spoken positively about Silva’s work ethic and continuous improvement, emphasizing the young player’s dedication to learning and getting better. With an £80,000-a-week wage, Silva’s potential move to either Celtic or Rangers could become a focal point in the coming weeks, as both clubs seek to reinforce their attacking options.
