Celtic have the chance to bring in some new faces this summer to freshen up their squad

Celtic are ‘interested’ in Motherwell winger Elijah Just and Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, according to The Herald. The Glasgow giants are plotting moves for the pair ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. They continue to chase down Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment along with rivals Rangers.

The Hoops won 2-1 away at Aberdeen last time out in the league. Kieran Tierney and Benjamin Nygren got their goals against the Dons at Pittodrie. They are now five points off top spot as they aim to keep their momentum going under the guidance of caretaker boss Martin O’Neil.

Celtic target Elijah Just at Motherwell

Celtic could see Motherwell star Just as someone to boost their attacking department. If he joined, he would give them more competition and depth at the top end of the pitch. The winger is under contract at Fir Park until 2027, with an option of a further year.

Just, 25, has been a key player since his move to Scotland. He has made 33 appearances in all competitions, 25 of which have come in the league, and he has chipped in with six goals and seven assists. His current club could face a battle to keep hold of him though amid attention from elsewhere.

The New Zealand international, who has 38 caps to his name, joined Motherwell in July last year. He arrived as a bit of an unknown quantity but he has adapted well to life in his new country. Prior to his move, he caught the eye playing in Denmark for Horsens.

Celtic linked with Miguel Chaiwa at Hibernian

Celtic are also being linked with Chaiwa at Hibs. The 21-year-old is being tipped for a bright future in the game. He has played 24 matches since his transfer to Edinburgh and he has found the net on two occasions.

Chaiwa is a Zambia international who has played 11 times for his country. He joined Young Boys in 2022 and spent three years on the books of the Swiss giants. They also loaned him out to FC Schaffhausen to get some experience and to boost his development.

After landing him last August, Hibs boss David Gray said: “We’re pleased to bring Miguel to the Club, he adds strength to our midfield options. He’s a young, athletic player that has a lot of potential. He’s keen to learn and develop, and we look forward to working with him and helping him to progress.”

Meanwhile, sporting director Malky Mackay added: “Miguel is a young player that we’ve been impressed with for some time. There’s been a lot of interest in him across Europe and we’re delighted he’s chosen to join Hibs as the next step in his career.

“He’s a talented youngster who has a lot of potential, and has the attributes to be a success in the Scottish game. I look forward to seeing him in green and white, and to see how he progresses during his time with us.”
