Celtic have reportedly held fresh talks today as they look to push through a deal for Jakob Breum before the transfer window closes.
Journalist Anthony Joseph reports that the club is stepping up its pursuit of the Denmark U21 international, who plays as an attacking midfielder but can also feature on either wing.
Breum is seen as a key target by Brendan Rodgers, who wants to add more creativity and depth to his forward options.

The latest talks suggest that Celtic are now ready to get serious about bringing Breum to Glasgow. With the new season already underway and limited time left in the window, the club appears to be upping its efforts to get deals done.
Breum has stood out in the Dutch top flight and is thought to have interest from other clubs, including FC Twente. That puts extra pressure on Celtic to act quickly if they want to win the race for his signature.
Part of the delay in progress is down to a sell-on clause owed to Breum’s former club, Odense, which means Go Ahead Eagles won’t see the full transfer fee themselves. That’s made them even more firm in their valuation.
Today’s talks mark the strongest move yet by Celtic in the chase for Breum. With just days to go before the window closes, the club now has to decide whether to match the asking price or risk losing out on one of their main attacking targets.

Last week I cringed at the idea of signing 38 year old Vardy however on thinking about it PSV were begging their former 34 year old striker (de Jong) to resign, however he opted for Porto…..
Get Vardy signed as that Celtic team will change immediately with a good line leader……

Vardy doesn’t suit Celtics system . However any forward could have made a difference against Kairat . For free at worst he would do to rest players during the season . But would prefer new players looking towards years ahead , unless Celtic are looking to build an over 40s team .
