EXCLUSIVE: Celtic set sights on £7m star in a potential transfer that could perfectly complement Idah.

Celtic are gearing up for their second Scottish Premiership match of the season, facing Hibernian away from Parkhead this afternoon.

The Hoops started their campaign strong with a 4-0 victory over Kilmarnock, with goals from Reo Hatate, Liam Scales, Nicolas Kuhn, and Anthony Ralston.

While Brendan Rodgers remains focused on the upcoming game, efforts continue behind the scenes to secure additional signings during the summer transfer window.

The Scottish giants are reportedly negotiating with Norwich City to secure a permanent deal for Adam Idah while also eyeing another midfielder to strengthen their squad.

According to Football Insider, Celtic are planning to “hijack” Rangers’ pursuit of Manchester United central midfielder Hannibal Mejbri. The report suggests that the Hoops are working to sign the Tunisia international, aiming to enhance their midfield options amid interest from their Glasgow rivals.

It also indicates that Manchester United are willing to let the academy graduate go for a “significant” fee, with previous reports suggesting that the asking price is around £7 million.

The outlet adds that Hannibal would be interested in signing for either of the Scottish sides due to the attraction of playing in European competitions, which means that it could be up to Celtic to convince him that they are the better option.

If the Premiership champions can convince him to make the move to Parkhead, though, then he could shine alongside Idah – if they also land the Irishman – at the top end of the pitch.

Why Hannibal would be perfect for Idah

The Tunisian maestro would be the perfect midfielder to supply the Ireland international with the high-quality chances he needs to find the back of the net.

Hannibal, who was once described as an “absolute baller” by U23 scout Antonio Mango, could be an exciting player for the Hoops supporters to watch in action, due to his dynamic and creative play in the middle of the park.

Therefore, Hannibal and Idah could end up being an exciting duo on the pitch for Celtic, due to the former’s creativity and the latter’s finishing, if they can get both deals over the line.
