Celtic are reportedly looking to secure a summer transfer move for Ferencvaros striker Ryan Mmaee.
What's the news?
According to a recent report from the Daily Record, the striker has "emerged on their radar in recent months – with extensive data analysis undertaken."
The report also adds that Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou "is keen to add more firepower ahead of their return to the Champions League following a five-year absence."
The Moroccan only arrived at Ferencvaros last summer, but with 37 appearances under his belt across all competitions, the striker has quickly become a star figure for them by scoring 19 goals and supplying 11 assists in the process.
Throughout his career, the 24-year-old has scored 51 goals and delivered 26 assists in 143 club appearances at senior and youth levels.
Taking this into account, it's easy to see why the Hoops have identified Mmaee as a suitable figure to come in and add some strength to their attack.
Supporters will be buzzing
The previous summer transfer window saw the Bhoys cash in on Odsonne Edouard by selling him to Crystal Palace in a deal worth £15m.
During his time with the Parkhead club, the Frenchman scored 86 goals in 179 appearances across all competitions.
To replace the 24-year-old, Celtic brought in Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis, who ended up scoring a combined total of 25 goals between them in the league.
Labelled as a "feisty" player by journalist Tomasz Mortimer, Mmaee could end up being a better version of Edouard for Celtic. He has a clear knack for scoring and creating goals, which is something that the former Hoops star has failed to find at Palace this season, suggesting the Hoops were right to wave farewell to him.
Of course, Edouard scored plenty in Glasgow but his performances dwindled in 2021/22 with just nine goals to show for his efforts. Mmaee, it would appear, is in better form than the Frenchman and would surely be a hit at Parkhead.
He has scored a goal every 83 minutes this term, while Celtic's former Bhoy only managed a goal every 137 minutes in his final campaign in Scotland.
