Hide AdCeltic move for ‘clinical’ Scottish Premiership forward with ‘unbelievable movement’
Celtic are the top scorers in the Scottish Premiership with 53 goals from their opening 22 games. But Brendan Rodgers remains keen to strengthen his frontline and has identified Aberdeen ace Bojan Miovski as a potential January target, according to reports from the Press and Journal.
Celtic and Southampton appear to be the frontrunners to make a move for the North Macedonian centre forward who has scored an impressive nine goals in 19 appearances this term - adding to the tally of 16 goals in 37 matches last term.
At just 24-years of age, Miovski has the potential to lead the line at Celtic Park for years to come. But Aberdeen are in no rush to sell their star striker this month, with Miovski contracted to summer 2026.

“He scored 18 goals last season and has 15 this season. They are very hard to find – a striker that can score goals and has that movement. And obviously he is confident at the minute. He is in a good place and is playing a lot of football, including international football.
“I’m sure he will have his targets as to how many goals he will score this season and also to be part of a successful Aberdeen team.”
