Amidst speculation about Celtics, Sydney van Hooijdonk delivers an intriguing transfer message.

Celtic’s name has been mentioned in relation to the Bologna striker since the summer and is still being discussed throughout the January transfer window.

Many Bhoys fans would be filled with nostalgia if they saw another van Hooijdonk at Parkhead; he is the son of legendary Pierre.

According to The Daily Record, the 23-year-old has made some intriguing remarks and discussed his future.

Sydney van Hooijdonk said, “I know that there has been a lot of talk about it,” which likely implies that a January transfer is a possibility even though he hasn’t ruled anything out.

Playing as a striker, he would check the box for Brendan Rodgers to add another number nine, as there has been much discussion about it.

The 23-year-old has only started four games overall across all competitions, but he did start for Bologna during their most recent 2-1 loss to Cagliari.

“My prospects? I’m not sure; this match is what matters most to me right now, but I know there has been a lot of discussion about it,” van Hooijdonk remarked.

will likely be like this in the upcoming weeks as well, but I’m putting an end to my self-focus because I have this opportunity. I want to win and score now. We’ll then watch how football plays out; you know, in football, things can change very rapidly

Celtic’s striker talk

The unexpected aspect of this is that he is a winger, so one must wonder if there is a need for more players in that position given how crowded it already is.

For the number nine, the same might be stated. Although Kyogo Furuhashi isn’t putting up huge stats, he is stepping up in pivotal occasions, as he demonstrated against the Rangers.

Will there be a van Hooijdonk to replace him? No. However, there will be disagreements regarding Hyeongyu Oh, who is now serving abroad.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the 22-year-old South Korean star is just playing as a backup, so patience and understanding are required in that regard.
