Celtic are in advanced talks to sign Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo, with the Egypt international set to join the Glasgow giants in an £8m deal.
What's happening?
The transfer window has seen Celtic act fast, with the signing of Colombian striker Camilo Duran and now Hassan, as they look to build on their Scottish Premiership title win last season. They finished the 2025 season with 67 points, 21 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses from 33 games, and recent form has seen them win 5 games in a row, including a 3-1 win over Heart Of Midlothian on 2026-05-16.
Why it matters for Celtic
The signing of Hassan would be a significant boost to Celtic's squad, as they look to close the 3-point gap to leaders Heart Of Midlothian, with their next fixture against them at home on 2026-10-17. Celtic have also agreed a club-record deal to sign Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh, worth £11 million plus add-ons, as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
What comes next?
With the transfer window still open, Celtic are expected to make more signings, as they look to build a strong squad for the upcoming season, and their recent form, with 5 wins in a row, will give them confidence ahead of their next match
