celtics Want to bring in a right winger to strengthen Martin O’NeillThe squad’s options for the wings ahead of the January transfer window closing on Monday night.

Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph Frosinone striker Fares Ghedjemis, 23, is reportedly one of the club’s targets.

The reporter said, scottish premier league The giants are already in talks with the Serie B side over a potential deal to sign the winger, whose contract expires this summer, although his club have the option to extend it for a further 12 months.

Joseph added that Frosinone are already looking at possible replacements for themselves in case they part ways with Celtic before the deadline and part ways with their star striker.

As the post above shows, the French winger wizard has contributed to 10 goals in the Italian Serie B this season, which is why he is an attractive target for the Hoops.

Celtic in talks to sign Premier League attacker

There is no sign that a fee has been agreed or that the attacker is undergoing a medical, meaning there is still scope for the club to pursue other options.

In fact, the Scottish giants are also reportedly looking for a replacement for Gedjemies on the right wing as they pursue multiple targets.

According to Sky SportsCeltic are in talks with several targets to bolster their options on the wings ahead of deadline day, including forward Frosinone.

Reports claim that the Hoops are still in talks with Premier League side Crystal Palace over a deal to sign Jasurun Lak Sacchi in the coming days.

Sky Sports listed Lacko Sacchi and Gedjemies as the two wingers the club are in talks to sign, but did not clarify whether there are others who have not yet been named.

It was reported earlier this month Celtic want to sign the Crystal Palace striker but the sticking point is that the Eagles want to pay an £8m fee as part of their obligation to sign him permanently at the end of his loan spell, while the Hoops would rather have an option.

Why Rak-Sakyi is an ideal replacement for Ghedjemis

If the Scottish giants are unable to reach an agreement with Frosinone for Gajemis, or the player rejects them, then Sacchi would be O’Neill’s dream replacement.

Like the Serie B talent, the England striker is a left-footed right-winger who will provide the experienced manager with different options in that position, as he currently only has right-footed Yang Hyun-joon and James Forrest as natural players in the role.

Having a left-footed player in this position, like they did with Nicolas Kuhn last season, provides a different attacking angle where they can use a stronger foot to pass into the middle while still being able to attack along the line.

Of course, that left foot isn’t the only reason why Lack-Sacchi is an excellent replacement for Gedemis this week, as his performances during his loan spell at Rizesburg during the first half of the season showed that he can provide a similar level of quality in the final third.

As you can see from the table above, there isn’t much difference in their goals and assists per 90 this season in Serie B and Turkish Super League, suggesting they are similar players.

However, where Lacko Sacchi has the advantage over the Frenchman is that the Frosinone striker has only scored two goals in 22 Serie B games for the club in the 2024/25 season.

At the same time, the England forward played 22 times in the British Championship on loan to Sheffield United last season, scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists, which means that his performance in recent seasons has been more stable than the 23-year-old ace player.

Rak-Sakyi Dubbed “devastating” The players, managed by U23 scout Antonio Mango, may come to Parkhead with less risk as he has already played in English football and has been more consistent in the final third over the past 18 months or so.
