    This would be brilliant news if it happens. Would be a massive signing if we could get him back on a permanent deal.

    CELTIC have been handed a boost in their bid to keep Fraser Forster and Mohamed Elyounoussi at the club next season.

    Hoops boss Neil Lennon has already confirmed his hopes to keep the pair at Parkhead for their ten-in-a-row bid.


    And their chances may have increased after reports Southampton are braced for a 'transfer exodus' ahead of next season.

    The Daily Star claim the Premier League club may have to sell on or loan out a number of key assets.


    It comes as Chinese owner Gao Jishen looks to raise around £100m in the summer window amid reports of the club 'leaking funds'.

    Forster has been named as an expendable player in the report which could signal another return to Celtic, but the Hoops may struggle to finance a move for £16m man Elyounoussi from the cash-strapped club.


    Lennon is desperate to have the duo at his disposal next season for the historic title tilt.

    He said: “We’re hopeful they’ll be around but that’s a conversation we’ll have to have with Southampton and with the players individually.



    We’d want to keep them if we could. It keeps that continuity going rather than maybe going out and bringing other players in.


    If we could keep the services of those two, they know how we work and what the club is all about.

    "They made really good contributions. Fraser was absolutely brilliant and Moey, up until the injury, was fantastic.”

    Would love both of them..

    Elyounoussi is class.

    Forster is the great Wall.

    If we can get Elyounoussi to come in for 1 more season for a loan fee then why not. Forster however I want too have him finish his career with us.

    Wouldn't shock me if we go for a Loan to Buy with Elyounoussi, Forster i think will be here no matter what.

    Forster should be our no 1 priority over the summer, would be great to have Ely as well, we don't need to sign a ton of players, just strengthen in a few key areas.

    Ah only just seeing this so forget what I said in the Gordon thread..

    Would be unreal getting both..

    Forster would be major. Mo, people forget how good he is and was because of injuries..

    Was rushed back for the final and was nowhere near fit. He's a class player and it will show..

    Wonder if being here for the TEN will help Big Fraz sign a permanent deal. He is the main signing i want to see.. even if that means we don't sign anyone else. He seems to like playing for Lenny.

    Great penalty stopper and that is another reason i want him signed

    Yeah Forster has to be the priority, or another Keeper.

    Forster and Ely would solve two of a potential 4 areas we need to sort - the other two being left back and centre back.
    Combined £20mill to bring in 3 of those four positions and we are on to a good one, but that is all depending on the price tag Southampton put on Fraser.

    Really nervous about this as him signing isn’t guaranteed by any stretch, though he does appear to like it here. I really hope the club manage to make this happen. Elyounoussi would be a huge boost too, but I’m less optimistic about him signing, given his previous comments.

    Absolute must sign him permanently, Elyounoussi would be a bonus.

    No chance we get any keeper as good as Forster for the rumoured fee, plus he loves being here and playing under Lennon. He pretty much paid back any fee with his heroics in Europe and the cup final, phenomenal keeper.

    We just have to get him, even if it means getting DD to chip in.
    Not too concerned about Ely, sure would be nice to have, but given his lack of pace, not sure he is that much of a priority.
    Just heard NL a few days ago talk about what he requires from a wing back, reckon he may be looking further afield.

    papers saying Southampton interested in Ntcham

    would swap him for Foster immediately if they would go for it

    Pls stay.

    I'd like to think he'll be pushing for it. He knows he has everything he wants here.

    I'd want money plus Forster, Ntcham is young and will no doubt make Southampton any team that signs him will sell him at a profit

    Straight swap with sell on fee could combat that 10% or 15% sell on
