Celtic have excelled all the yardsticks of a formidable side on the domestic soil as they are running away with the Scottish Premiership title with ease. Having piled up a staggering lead of 25 points over second-placed Aberdeen, Brendan Rodgers’ side are truly on course to win the league as an invincible outfit.
Nonetheless, it is important for the Scottish giants to not only continue their stellar run of for in the domestic competitions but to also construct a stronghold in the Champions League. They should be looking forward to bring some more quality in the summer transfer window and here are three players from Championship they could possibly lure to the Celtic Park.
3 Championship Players Rodgers Can Target For Celtic
Jake Buxton
Wigan Athletic are seemingly likely to face the axe of relegation at the end of the season but in their trouble-prone season, Jake Buxton has really shone brightly. The central defender has been solid at the heart of Latics’ defence despite his teammates falling apart like a house of cards.
In 38 games in the Championship so far, Buxton has made 1 tackle, 2.1 interceptions, 9.9 clearances and 1.1 blocks every game on average apart from bagging 1 goal and registering 1 assist overall as well. Undoubtedly, he would want a move out of Wigan and a move to the Celtic Park could do wonders.
Cameron Jerome
With the likelihood of Moussa Dembele’s departure, the striking departments of the Bhoys would have to face a huge blow and Cameron Jerome should be the one Celtic should really plan to lure under the ranks of Rodgers. The Norwich City hitman has banged 14 goals and also has 5 assists to his name already in 34 appearances and apart from being a clinical goal getter up front; he is a complete player who has the requisite experience as well and would lend the attacking arsenal that Celtic would need.
Aaron Mooy
One of the prime reasons for Huddersfield Town’s resurrection this season could be traced to how Aaron Mooy has operated this campaign. The Terries’ midfielder has oiled the setup of his side, courtesy to his relentless toil throughout the pitch to carve spaces and fork out yards of spaces for his teammates.
Celtic’s defensive midfielders are arguably overrated and thus, the addition of this Australian midfielder who has 3 goals and 5 assists to his name would enable in creating an immediate upgrade and cultivating a healthy competition for the starting line-up as well.
