Celtic eye Hearts star Claudio Braga in transfer window
Celtic are ready to firm up their interest in Hearts attacker Claudio Braga this transfer window, sources have told Football Insider. The 26-year-old striker has been heavily linked away this summer, with Rangers also reportedly holding interest.
Is Claudio Braga the answer to Celtic's attacking woes?
Celtic and Martin O'Neill have clearly prioritised reinforcing their frontline this summer. After numerous attackers underperformed last season, combined with Daizen Maeda's departure, the Hoops have already brought in Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh. However, neither star had a particularly fruitful debut on Monday, with Hogh's performance being particularly concerning.
What other business could Celtic complete this summer?
Arne Engels have been heavily linked with a move to West Ham United this summer. The midfielder played a crucial role at Celtic last season as the club won a domestic double. Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Celtic are aiming to get the highest possible fee for Engels this summer after rejecting two offers from West Ham.
Celtic are currently 3 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the title race, with a recent form of 5W-0D-0L (WWWWW, most recent first). The Hoops have scored 59 goals and conceded 35 in the 2026-27 season so far, with a goal difference of +24. They are on a 5-game winning run, with their last result being a 3-1 win over Heart of Midlothian on May 16th.
