You’ll have heard by now that Celtic are monitoring target Aaron Boupendza.
In fact, Turkish media outlet Miliyet claim that Celtic had an offer of €6.5million (£5.4m) rejected for the player. Boupendza has had a fantastic season in Turkey, scoring 22 league goals for Hatayspor. Not bad for a free transfer from Bordeaux, at a club who were competing in their first Super Lig season.
Yep, that’s right. Formed in 1967 (quite right, too), the Turkish outfit only achieved their first top-flight season after winning the second tier in 19-20. So, to have landed a quality striker is quite the blessing. It gets better; the Antakya-based side ended up finishing sixth this season [BBC].
