‘Get Him Signed’ ‘Be A Coup If We Get Him But Can’t See It’ Fans Discuss Celtic’s Interest In Former Barcelona And Chelsea Player

Celtic are keeping tabs on FC Volendam defender Xavier Mbuyamba, according to reports in the UK.

The Netherlands youth international had spells at Barcelona and Chelsea before he returned to his homeland to get first-team football.

During his first season in the Eredivisie with Volendam, he has impressed, attracting the attention of the Hoops and a number of other teams. Fans on Twitter have been discussing whether the centre-half would be a good addition to the squad:

Mbuyamba is relatively unproven but, at 21 years of age, he is someone who still has big potential, so it would not be a surprise if Celtic took a gamble on him.

If Stephen Welsh does leave Parkhead this summer, there would probably be room for the Dutchman to take his place in the squad and, if he impresses enough, there is a chance he could displace Carl Starfelt as the regular centre-back partner for Cameron Carter-Vickers.
