Jari De Busser is one of many goalkeepers who have been linked with a move to Celtic this summer.

The 26-year-old Go Ahead Eagles star has indicated that he wants to leave the club this summer and continue his career elsewhere.

Football Insider has exclusively revealed that De Busser is keen on a move to Celtic, providing a boost to the club amid their pursuit.

The Hoops will have to pay £2million to acquire his services, but everything indicates that the goalkeeper could be a revolutionary signing.

A new goalkeeper is of major importance this summer, and De Busser could now be a big upgrade at Celtic.

Jari De Busser has some stunning stats this season

Throughout the 2025-26 campaign, De Busser kept nine clean sheets in the league and produced many top performances towards the end of the season.

He also played a key role in their Europa League journey, as they narrowly missed out on the knockout stages, with the star helping to oversee memorable victories over the likes of Aston Villa, who would go on to win the competition.

As a result, he managed to produce some eye-catching stats, with his displays in the Eredivisie being the clear standout.

According to Statscore metrics compiled by Football Insider, he averaged 4.38 saves, a 73.8 per cent save percentage, 0.29 goals prevented and 0.26 clean sheets per game.

If this can be repeated for Celtic, De Busser would finally end the club’s crisis between the sticks and potentially win the club multiple points next season.

Therefore, the Hoops simply have to get the deal done as they aim to reassert their dominance in Scotland.

Who else could Celtic go in for?

Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Nikolas Polster is also interested in the idea of a move to Celtic this summer transfer window.

Austrian side Wolfsberger are willing to cash in on the 23-year-old gloveman, which has caught the Hoops’ attention.

Overall, he kept eight clean sheets from 29 games in the Austrian Bundesliga, with Wolves also interested in the goalkeeper.

Reports suggest that he is available for around £1.75m this summer as Celtic look to replace Kasper Schmeichel, who retired at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
