Celtic battling Championship clubs to agree 'cut price' Adrian Blake deal - journalist

Celtic are among the clubs eyeing a move for Utrecht forward Adrian Blake this summer.

Martin O'Neill is keen to bolster his attacking ranks this summer as several players look to depart.

Celtic need to add a new right winger to their ranks, with just one signing made so far this summer after striker Camilo Duran arrived from Qarabag.

Jota remains sidelined for the time being, while the likes of Hyun-jun Yang and Michel-Ange Balikwisha struggled to consistently impress last season.

Blake has emerged as a target for the Hoops just months after he scored a superb long-range goal for Utrecht at Parkhead in a Europa League clash.

They are not alone in the race for his services as it stands, with English Championship clubs Wolves and Burnley also interested in the ex-Watford man.

Celtic tracking Adrian Blake as £2.5million fee revealed

Former England youth international Blake is equally adept on both the right and left wing, and has plenty of room to improve at just 20-years-old.

He progressed through Watford's youth ranks to make three senior appearances before joining Utrecht in 2023.

Blake has registered nine goals and five assists in 63 first team games for the Eredivisie side so far.

Sky Sports have claimed that Celtic have Blake on their list of summer targets as it stands, but are yet to act on their interest.

Wolves and Burnley are also interested in landing his signature, and he is expected to command a fee of £2.5m after entering the final year of his contract.

What is the latest on Celtic's interest in Haissem Hassan?

Hassan has emerged as one of Celtic's leading winger targets in the last few weeks after some impressive performances at the World Cup.

The Real Oviedo and Egypt winger shone against Argentina in the round of 16 stage and subsequently became a worldwide social media sensation.

Sources have revealed to Football Insider that Celtic will be able to sign Hassan for less than his £10m release clause this summer.

The latest reports have claimed that the Hoops are set to submit an offer for his services worth around £6.8m, after seeing their first bid rejected last week.
