Fares Ghedjemis Misses Frosinone's Pre-Season Outing Amid Celtic Transfer Links
Celtic are reportedly interested in Fares Ghedjemis, but the Algerian winger missed Frosinone's latest pre-season outing due to a fitness concern. The 23-year-old has been linked with both Celtic and Rangers this summer, while Ligue 1 outfit Monaco are also reportedly monitoring his situation.
What's Behind Fares Ghedjemis' Absence?
Frosinone manager Massimiliano Alvini insists that Ghedjemis' absence was due to a fitness concern rather than his uncertain future. Alvini said, "Ghedjemis couldn't play. He had a little problem, and we didn't risk him, that's all."
What Does This Mean for Celtic?
Celtic are believed to value Ghedjemis at around £17million, potentially complicating the Hoops' hopes of bringing him to Celtic Park. The title race is heating up, with Celtic 3 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. The Hoops have been in great form, with 5 consecutive wins in the Premiership.
