Celtic make enquiry to Ajax for Dutch international defender, club open to offers

Celtic are well known to be on the hunt for a left-back this summer with Brendan Rodgers requiring competition for Greg Taylor.

With Alexandro Bernabei away on loan in Brazil, the only backup available to the Scotland international at the moment is the untested Matthew Anderson.

It’s a top priority as the transfer window closes, and despite the club being linked to players like Hugo Bueno and Owen Beck, nothing concrete has been accomplished.

Celtic’s attention is now being piqued by another name as the Bhoys look to Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax for motivation.

Owen Wijndal is of interest to Celtic.

According to Sky Sports, the Dutch team has received preliminary enquiries from Werder Bremen and Celtic regarding defender Owen Wijndal.
The player, who played on loan at Royal Antwerp in Belgium during the previous season, is reportedly open to offers from Ajax.

Since Wijndal has a contract with his current club through 2027, it’s possible that Celtic is using a loan-to-buy scenario, but overall, this is a positive development for a position that the Bhoys desperately need.
