Manchester City fans react as Celtic reportedly eye a second Etihad defender
Celtic are reportedly looking at a second Manchester City defender this summer, after initially being linked with Ko Itakura. Ange Postecoglou desperately needs defensive additions and City right-back Yan Couto is now on his shortlist. Manchester City fans think Couto should join Celtic.
Couto, 19, spent last season on loan at Spanish second-tier side Girona, where he clocked up 30 appearances in all competitions. He certainly left a lasting impression, having a hand in seven goals and now, Couto needs a new move. Hardly going to get a look in at City, Celtic are keen.
Celtic are hopeful of bringing Couto to Parkhead this summer – but face competition from Portuguese clubs. The Hoops desperately need a right-back, having sold Jeremie Frimpong to Bayer Leverkusen in January. Hatem Abd Elhamed returned to Israel.

What are Manchester City fans saying about Celtic signing Couto?
Jonjoe Kenny, who was on loan from Everton, was indifferent during his loan spell as a replacement for Frimpong – and has not signed permanently. So, Celtic need a right-back and Couto has been identified. The Hoops are hoping to land the Brazil Under-20 ace on loan until the end of the season.
Manchester City fans took to Twitter upon hearing the news Couto could move to Celtic – having already been linked with Itakura. Many believe a move to the Hoops would be beneficial for the Brazilian teenager.
