Player Suggestions

Celtic Underground, so take it with the customary pinch of salt, claimed a couple of months back that we were keeping an eye on Caleb Yirenkyi, a 19 year-old CM/CDM currently playing for Nordjsaelland.

I was sort of bored this morning and having a look back at some of the random players we’ve been linked with throughout the summer, as tenuous as some of those links were, and apparently over the last couple of days it’s been reported that Arsenal are casting their eye over him or are potentially getting ready to make a move.

I’ve just pulled two of the more recent YouTube compilations (and I was skimming a little bit, so there’s probably a decent amount of overlap in terms of the clips being shown):








He’s young, and maybe still a bit raw in some aspects, but he’s absolutely the sort of profile we’re crying out for in the midfield - a physical presence, albeit not an out-an-out destroyer type, who can play a bit. If he keeps developing, and given that he’s only 19 you’d imagine that he will, he’s the kind of player that could be going for mega money in a few years time.

I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s frustrating that it feels like our current midfield situation has left us in a sort of limbo where we technically have some depth on paper, but what we’ve actually got is a few guys that are a bit hot & cold/Jekyll & Hyde-like or sort of fill similar roles without actually offering up anything all that different.

 

Josh Brownhill still sitting without a club since leaving Burnley,get him in ffs Brendan would be a great player here, no transfer fee so we can afford the wages

 

David Datro Fofana is still at Chelsea - surely he's available?
