Isaksson in Hoops link
Celtic,
Last updated:
Neil Lennon could swoop for Sweden international goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson if Fraser Forster snubs a return to Celtic.
The Hoops boss was hoping to persuade Forster to make a permanent move from Newcastle following two successful season-long loan deals at Parkhead.
However, despite Forster being available for transfer from the Magpies this summer, it appears the player has set his sights on securing a move to a Premier League side which has alerted the likes of Southampton and Aston Villa.
Therefore, Lennon is looking at alternative options and Isaksson, who will be available on a Bosman free transfer when his contract with Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven expires on Saturday, seemingly fits the bill.
The former Juventus, Manchester City and Rennes custodian has won 96 caps for Sweden and played in all three of their group games at Euro 2012, while he is also a former international team-mate of Hoops assistant boss Johan Mjallby.
And, it is being suggested that Isaksson is keen on a move to Celtic as several other clubs are also thought to be pondering a swoop.
