Celtic have made contact with Antoine Semenyo's agent regarding a potential move to Parkhead in the summer transfer window.

What's the talk?

In recent comments made to Football Scotland, the Bristol City centre-forward's agent, Tony Finnigan, revealed that the Celtic scout, Craig Strachan, called him to find out more information about the 22-year-old, before Strachan visited Ashton Gate to watch the striker in action.

Speaking about Celtic's interest in his client, Finnigan said: "I had a conversation with Strachan who rang up to ask little bits of info on the player and a bit about how I found him and what he's like as a lad.

"That was it. If it's something they're going to do in the summer window I'm not sure but it's nice to know that his talents are going as far as Scotland to one of the great institutions in world football. There's not really much more to say than that."

Ange can axe Ajeti with Semenyo

Considering just how impressive Semenyo has been for Bristol City this season, it is not difficult to understand why Celtic appear to be taking an interest in the centre-forward.

Indeed, over his 21 Championship appearances in the current campaign, the £1.08m-rated forward has been in devastating form for the Robins, scoring six goals, providing eight assists and creating five big chances for his teammates.

These returns have seen the £3.5k-per-week hitman - who is also capable of operating from the wings as well as through the middle - average a quite remarkable SofaScore match rating of 7.01, ranking him as his club's third-best performer in the English second tier.

As such, it is clear for all to see that the player who Nigel Pearson claimed has both "pace & power" would make an excellent addition to the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Giorgos Giakoumakis, Daizen Maeda, Liel Abada and Jota in Ange Postecoglou's attacking arsenal, while he would also appear to be a massive upgrade on Albian Ajeti.

Indeed, the £18k-per-week striker was heavily linked with a move away from Parkhead in the January transfer window, something that is not surprising considering the fact he has cost the club roughly £6.5m in transfer fees and wages since his arrival back in the summer of 2020, as well as finding the back of the net just nine times over his 48 appearances for the Hoops.

So, it would indeed appear an extremely wise move for Postecoglou to finally cut his losses on the Switzerland international this summer, before reinvesting the money received from his sale, as well as his hefty weekly wage, into a move for the much more impressive Semenyo.
