Celtic could recruit 25-year-old Ronny Deila, who is regarded as “incredible,” to address their left-back situation.

Brendan Rodgers has been telling Celtic supporters for months that he wants to improve the team’s caliber.

Even with the January transfer window already closed and with two players added, Celtic lacks that caliber in a crucial position inside the team.

We could refer to it as four positions, but for the time being, let’s focus on left back.

The recent injury to Greg Taylor has brought to light how terribly inadequate Celtic’s left-back lineup is, but is there an MLS player Rodgers could have looked to that wouldn’t have cost the earth?

Malte Amundsen might be able to assist Celtic.

Danish left-back Amundsen is presently an MLS player for Columbus Crew. Now hear me out before you all go nuts and ask, “Who?”

Amundsen, a left-back who is 25 years old, has won national titles in both Norway and the United States. Amundsen has won two MLS Cups, the Campeones Cup, and the Norwegian Cup in addition to the Super Cup. [Transfermarkt]

When the former Celtic manager was in charge of New York City, Ronny Deila signed Amundsen. According to Deila, Amundsen is an aggressive fullback with a “incredible work rate,” who is good in one-on-one situations and appreciates a nice tackle or two. [FC New York City]

Amundsen tore up the MLS at Columbus. He made 33 appearances, including two assists and five goals, helping Columbus finish third in the standings and defeat Los Angeles FC 2-1 in the MLS Eastern Conference Play-Off final.

Amundsen has been quite reliable for the MLS team, averaging a 7.55 for the season. His passing accuracy is 87.6%, while his long ball accuracy is 53.3%, demonstrating his excellent passing vision.

The 25-year-old averages 1.57 tackles each game, wins 67.3% of his duels, and slightly under seven ball recoveries every ninety minutes. [Fotmob]

It wouldn’t cost the earth because Amundsen’s contract expires in December. Additionally, before anyone make fun of the MLS, remember where our very own Allistair Johnston was born.
