Despite having been heavily linked with a move to Ange Postecoglou's Celtic side in the January transfer window, Hannes Wolf's potential switch to Parkhead ultimately did not come to fruition, with the Borussia Monchengladbach winger eventually going on to secure a temporary switch to Swansea City.

However, while missing out on a deal for the 22-year-old who Christoph Freund dubbed "perfect" initially appeared to be something of a blow for Bhoys, considering the Austria U21 international's form so far during his spell in Wales, it is beginning to look as if Postecoglou dodged something of a bullet in failing to land the forward last month.

Indeed, over his seven Championship outings in the current campaign, the £4.5m-rated attacker has so far failed to hit the back of the net, is yet to provide his teammates with a single assist and has created just one big chance, as well as completing an average of a mere 0.3 crosses and losing possession of the ball 11.4 times per game.

These returns have seen the £27k-per-week winger average a rather disappointing SofaScore match rating of just 6.76, ranking him as Russell Martin's 11th-best performer in the second tier of English football.

As such, while hindsight is a wonderful thing, when taking into account the fact that Wolf would have cost Celtic around £621k in wages - plus whatever loan fee Swansea are playing the Bundesliga side - during his proposed spell in Glasgow, Postecoglou looks as if he has saved the club a considerable amount of money by missing out on the forward.

Not only that, but considering the 22-year-old's poor returns in front of goal so far for the Swans, it very much looks as if the Austrian may not be cut out for the demands of British football - something that all involved with Celtic will be delighted was not discovered after the attacker moved to Parkhead.
