Following a difficult cup final loss at Estoril, Tiago Araujo has made a statement.

He is concentrating on the path that brought him to the brink of glory in Portugal on Instagram. He has been linked to solving Brendan Rodgers’ left-back problems at Celtic. After a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes, the left-back scored his team’s fifth and final penalty in the League Cup final versus Braga. Since first-choice Greg Taylor is sidelined, there has been a lot of talk surrounding the Portuguese star, with reports that the Premiership champions have him in their sights. However, for the time being, his thoughts are focused on Estoril.

“A great journey in this competition, we made history for this great club, even though it wasn’t the outcome we all wanted,” he remarked. Being a part of this amazing club fills me with great pride. I would want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Estorilistas for their unwavering support during our journey and for all of their encouraging comments.”

Sydney van Hooijdonk is also reportedly drawing Celtic interest in this transfer window, but the Hoops aren’t the only team interested in the Bologna attacker. According to De Telegraaf, FC Twente has apparently shown interest in the 23-year-old striker who is supposedly on their “candidate” list.

Jung Ho-Yeon of Gwangju FC has acknowledged not hearing anything from Glasgow regarding a possible transfer. After an outstanding K-League campaign, manager Lee Jung-Hyo stated in December that negotiations had “advanced” over a Hoops trade for the 23-year-old this window.

When asked about the move to Celtic by Jeonnam Ilbo, a Korean outlet, he acknowledged that communication had stopped. “I haven’t heard anything about a transfer to Celtic,” the man stated. I’m still dreaming about taking on challenges abroad.

“I’m curious about my position and the appropriate viewpoint in a novel setting. It provided a chance for me to develop as a more experienced player.”

Gustaf Lagerbielke appears to be a likely exit contender. Additionally, according to Sky Sports, Serie A team Lecce has moved ahead of the competition to take him on a loan; however, the amount of his salary that still needs to be paid could prove to be a cause of contention.
