Celtic’s Three Potential Centre Back Targets As Lennon Confirms Plans To Replace Simunovic

Manager Neil Lennon revealed at the weekend that Celtic are actively looking for a replacement for the departing Jozo Simunovic.

It was confirmed last month that the Croatian international will leave Parkhead when his contract expires at the end of June, despite the Hoops having the option to extend his stay for a further year.

Lennon has said that the Scottish champions have been looking at three or four different types of centre-half as they look to identify the right replacement for Simunovic. He then commented that they may have already settled on a potential target ahead of the next transfer window.

Three players, in particular, have been linked with Celtic in recent weeks and they could well be on Lennon’s shortlist of centre-backs. Press the next page to find out more about them.
