Celtic’s scouting network is showing no signs of slowing as the club continues to monitor Danish forward Mathias Kvistgaarden.

According to Danish outlet Tipsbladet, Celtic representatives were at Brøndby’s recent match against FC Nordsjælland, where Kvistgaarden put in another solid performance.

The 22-year-old attacker, who has already notched 10 goals and 4 assists this season, is proving to be a versatile asset capable of playing both on the wing and as a central striker.

Celtic’s interest in Kvistgaarden dates back about two years, a clear sign of the club’s sustained interest in the young Danish talent. Despite bolstering their frontline with the summer signing of Adam Idah and the presence of prolific forward Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic are seemingly intent on further enhancing their attacking options.

Kyogo has attracted interest from Manchester City, where he’s reportedly on a shortlist as a potential replacement for Julian Alvarez. Although there’s no imminent indication of Kyogo leaving, the prospect underlines why Celtic might be considering future-proofing their attack with the addition of Kvistgaarden.

If signed, Kvistgaarden would not only add depth but also provide Celtic with tactical flexibility, given his ability to operate across the front line.

The Danish forward’s physicality, combined with a natural eye for goal, makes him a good fit for the Scottish game and a potential successor should Kyogo eventually move on.
