In the market for a new striker

Celtic a▨re in the market for an attacker with that Odsonne Edouard is close to a move to Leicester City.

Ayew, who guided the Swans to the Championship play-off final, left the club last week following the expiration of hi✃s c🔜ontract.

The 92-capped Ghanaian international enjoyed one of his most productive seasons last term🍷 in the second-tier of England.

Ayew hit 17 goals in all competitions, assisting a further four foꦿr the Welsh club.

Celtic could finally land Ayew this summer

With previous links to the former West Ham attacker, it is likely that Celtic are considering a move for Ayew. And this could be the year the Hoops finally land their man.

Coming off the back of one of the best se🥃asons in his career, Ayew could be the perfect player to replace the out-going Edouard. And with the African attacker a free agent, Celtic won’t have to worry about paying a transfer fee.

With Rangers dominating the league last season, Celtic will be eager to rebuild this transfer window with not only a new manager at the helm, but a new crew of players who have theꦜ quality and desire to want to take the club back to the top of Scottish football.

Ayew’s experience in both England, in Europe and internationally wit☂h Ghana make him a perfect summer signing for Celtic, who could have a new talisman in the former Marseille striker should he💧 decide to swap Wales for Scotland in the transfer window.
