William Boving Celtic transfer link clarified as Sturm Graz attacker has Euro interest..
The versatile Sturm Graz attacker has been mentioned as someone who has garnered early interest from the Bhoys after standing out at the Champions League outfit.
Still just 21, Boving has already racked up 125 senior appearances for boyhood club Copenhagen and the Austrian side.
It’s impressive experience for his age, and since making the switch to Sturm Graz, he’s contributed 11 goals and 11 assists.
However, securing his signature would be a major challenge, and a move to Celtic is unlikely.
William Boving garnering European attention amid Celtic interest
67 Hail Hail understands that not only would Sturm Graz be looking for a fee in excess of £7m but that Boving would likely have little interest in a move to Scotland as his next career step.
In addition, clubs from Germany and Italy are showing interest in his services, presenting further hurdles that Celtic would find difficult to clear.
Boving can play in wide attacking areas as well as through the middle as a centre-forward.
With Celtic shelling out significant money for Adam Idah during the summer transfer window and currently possessing wingers who are firing and in form, there’s no grand need to spend big in those positions right now.
Celtic’s potential transfer priorities
There are few question marks about Celtic’s attacking quality so far this season. The Bhoys have scored a stunning 36 goals in just 11 matches.
When considering transfer priorities moving forward, it would make sense to focus on defensive positions or perhaps add an alternative ball-winning option to the midfield area.
The left-back area looks in particular need of care, with Greg Taylor’s contract expiring at the end of the season and Alex Valle only on loan from Barcelona.
Celtic will always be on the hunt for attractive prospects regardless of position, but strengthening the team’s combative core would be welcome.
That’s alongside a continuation of trimming fringe options from the squad who aren’t getting game time currently.
