The £6m Celtic target who could be an instant upgrade on Haissem Hassan
Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Swedish winger Patrik Walemark from Lech Poznan, who could provide a greater goal threat than Haissem Hassan on the right flank. The 24-year-old attacker has racked up ten goals and 13 'big chances' created in the subsequent 18 months of league football in Poland, and would be an intriguing signing by the Hoops as another right-sided attacker who likes to cut in from that side to use his favoured left foot.
What Haissem Hassan needs to improve at Celtic
Haissem Hassan is far from the finished article, however, and fans may need to be patient with his performances in the short-term, as he is yet to prove himself to be a consistent performer in the final third. He has arrived at Paradise off the back of failing to score a single goal in 37 appearances in LaLiga for Real Oviedo in the 2025/26 campaign, which shows that he needs to improve his output as a goalscorer.
How Celtic could instantly upgrade on Haissem Hassan
Whilst there is a question mark over Hassan's output in the final third, the club are also looking at another player in his position who could offer a greater goal threat. According to a report from Turkey, Celtic are one of the teams interested in a deal to sign Lech Poznan winger Patrik Walemark before the end of the summer transfer window. The Hoops and Dutch side Groningen are the two sides said to be keeping tabs on the 24-year-old attacker with a view to a potential swoop for his services, as Martin O'Neill lines up another attacking addition.
What comes next?
Lech Poznan will not allow the Swedish winger to leave easily, though, and will demand a fee of up to around £6m from any teams wanting to sign him. The former Feyenoord attacker would be an intriguing signing by the Hoops as another right-sided attacker who likes to cut in from that side to use his favoured left foot. Walemark joined Lech Poznan from Feyenoord in January 2025 and has racked up ten goals and 13 'big chances' created in the subsequent 18 months of league football in Poland.
