Celtic to submit improved Haissem Hassan bid as 0.35 and 85 % stats emerge – verdict

Celtic will surely submit an improved Haissem Hassan bid after his excellent performance in Egypt’s 3-2 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday.

The winger provided the assist for Mostafa Ziko’s goal against the World Cup champions which put the North African side 2-0 before the late comeback was staged.

The Real Oviedo star’s performance was hailed far and wide as Egypt came minutes away from one of the World Cup’s greatest upsets.

This performance came after reports that Celtic had bid £3.5million for the winger, which was rejected by the Spanish outfit.

However, after his recent display, Martin O’Neill’s side will surely test the water yet again with another bid.

Celtic are yet to make a signing this summer transfer window, but are expected to seal a deal for Camilo Duran in the coming days.

Celtic will surely push to sign Haissem Hassan this summer

Last season, Celtic often struggled up top, with few players being a consistent threat in the final third.

In fact, Daizen Maeda was the only forward player to hit double-figure goals in the Scottish Premiership, while no one picked up more than eight assists.

Considering Hassan just dominated on the right wing against some of the best defenders in the world, Celtic may now have found a solution to their problem.

According to Fotmob on 8 July, the 24-year-old completed 85 per cent of his passes, created one chance and one big chance, completed four successful dribbles, had two touches in the opposition box and won seven ground duels.

Therefore, a new and improved bid from Celtic feels inevitable after his fantastic display against Argentina as they look to make serious upgrades to their attacking lineup this summer transfer window.

Who else could Celtic sign this summer?

Celtic have also been linked with Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis in recent weeks.

The 22-year-old is believed to have been scouted by the Hoops ahead of a potential move to Parkhead.

Celtic are in need of a new midfielder this month amid rumours that Arne Engels could be out of the door.

However, it remains to be seen if the Old Firm outfit can get a deal over the line for the Lithuania international over the coming months.
