Celtic’s Search for a New Goalkeeper

Celtic’s need for a new goalkeeper has been a topic of discussion this summer. With Joe Hart’s three-year run at Parkhead coming to an end, the club is on the lookout for a long-term solution between the posts. Hart’s time at Celtic was marked by seven trophies and a special place in the hearts of the fans. However, his signing was always viewed as a short-term solution, and the club is now seeking a more permanent fix.

The Hoops have been linked to several goalkeepers this summer, but one name that has caught the attention of fans is Martin Dubravka. The 35-year-old Newcastle United goalkeeper is reportedly available for transfer, and Celtic have made contact with the Magpies to discuss a potential deal.

Dubravka played a significant amount of football for Newcastle last season, but with the club expected to bring in another goalkeeper to challenge Nick Pope, his time at St James’ Park is believed to be coming to an end. Celtic see him as a decent short-term addition, but some fans are not convinced that he is the right man for the job.

The search for a new goalkeeper is not the only priority for Celtic this summer. The club is also looking to strengthen other areas of the team, and fans will be hoping that the recruitment is spot on this time around. The last thing Celtic need is another Vasilis Barkas situation.

In other news, former Newcastle legend Patrick Kluivert has revealed his ambition to become a Premier League manager one day. The Dutchman, who played for Newcastle from 2004 to 2005, has occupied several roles since retiring, including sporting director at Paris Saint-Germain and academy director at Barcelona. Kluivert sees everything through the lens of a coach and is eager to show the world that he is capable of big things in coaching.

Kluivert, who was Louis van Gaal’s assistant when Holland reached the 2014 World Cup semi-finals, does not deviate from an attacking mindset. He has also rated Holland’s Euro 2024 chances this summer.

The Premier League is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, and it’s no surprise that Kluivert wants to test his mettle in it. With his experience and attacking mindset, he could be a great fit for a Premier League team in the future.
