Celtic transfers: five 'realistic' signings including Nottingham Forest and Hibs players
We asked AI to name five players who could arrive at Celtic Park this summer and strengthen Martin O’Neill’s first team options.
Celtic supporters will be hoping for a busy summer transfer window as head coach Martin O’Neill looks to strengthen his first team options.
We have yet to see any new arrivals at Celtic Park but with O’Neill now in position and the club working to secure his backroom staff, supporters will be hoping things start to pick up. They’ve already been linked with a number of high profile players in the past few weeks.
With that in mind, we put one of the most popular Open AI tools to the test to suggest some ‘realistic’ signings the club could make. Here are five players that ChatGPT believes could arrive at Celtic Park this summer.
1. Miguel Chaiwa (Hibernian)
Position: Defensive midfielder
Why it makes sense:
- Celtic could use more athleticism and physicality in midfield, particularly for European matches.
- Already proven in Scottish football.
- Offers defensive cover behind Callum McGregor and Arne Engels.
- Reportedly among players Celtic have been monitoring.
Estimated fee: £2–4 million.
2. Oskar Wojcik (Cracovia)
Position: Centre-back
Why it makes sense:
- Celtic have already been linked with him and reportedly had a bid rejected earlier in the year.
- At 22, he'd fit the club's recruitment model perfectly.
- Strong, aggressive defender with room to develop.
- Could eventually replace or partner Cameron Carter-Vickers.
Estimated fee: £4–6 million.
3. Kasper Hogh (Bodø/Glimt)
Position: Striker
Why it makes sense:
- Celtic need more goals and competition up front.
- Has experience in European competition and plays in a system similar to Celtic's attacking style.
- Strong pressing forward who can score a variety of goals.
- Has been mentioned among potential Celtic targets.
Estimated fee: £5–8 million.
4. Stefan Ortega (Free agent)
Position: Goalkeeper
Why it makes sense:
- Currently available after leaving Nottingham Forrest.
- Celtic have reportedly been linked.
- He's 33, excellent with his feet, used to playing in possession-dominant teams, and would immediately raise the level of the position.
- The wage package would be the main obstacle rather than the transfer fee.
Estimated fee: Free
5. Jakob Breum (Go Ahead Eagles)
Position: Left wing / attacking midfield
Why it makes sense:
- Creative player who can operate in multiple attacking roles.
- Celtic have often found value in the Scandinavian market.
- If there are departures in the wide areas, he'd add goals and assists while still having resale potential.
- Has attracted interest from clubs across Europe and is viewed positively by many Celtic supporters.
Estimated fee: £4–6 million.
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence system trained on large amounts of text from books, websites, articles, and other sources. It works by identifying patterns in language and predicting which words are most likely to come next in response to a prompt. Rather than thinking, understanding, or knowing things in the same way humans do, it generates answers based on statistical relationships learned during training. This allows it to explain concepts, answer questions, and assist with writing and problem-solving. However, it is not always reliable because it can misunderstand questions, lack up-to-date information, or generate incorrect but convincing-sounding responses.
