Celtic miss out on Dutch youngster Milan van Ewijk
May 13, 2021
Celtic have been beaten to the signature of ADO Den Haag right-back Milan van Ewijk.
In March, outlet VI claimed that the Bhoys had joined host of European clubs in chasing the 20-year-old. Ultimately, however, AD are reporting that Eredivisie side Heerenveen have won, with a bid of €600,000.
It’s a potential blow for Celtic, who still haven’t adequately replaced Jeremie Frimpong. Arguably, given Frimpong’s brief stint at the club, the Bhoys haven’t replaced Mikael Lustig in a meaningful way, as of yet. Hatem Abd Elhamed was also brought in to fill the right-back slot, but now Frimpong and Elhamed are plying their trade elsewhere.
Celtic fans react to Nir Bitton exit rumours
Celtic are set to miss out on the Scottish Premiership title, and that may lead to some changes in the near future.
Jeremie Frimpong has moved on and the likes of Odsonne Edouard, Kristoffer Ajer and Ryan Christie are likely to attract interest.
Hatem Abd Elhamed is leaving for Hapoel Be’er Sheva, and Israeli teammate Bitton could end up following him back home.

Hatem Abd Elhamed has left Celtic and returned to former club Hapoel Be er Sheva on a permanent basis, the Glasgow club has confirmed.
The 29-year-old Israel defender signed for Celtic in summer 2019, making 31 appearances.
But Celtic manager Neil Lennon revealed Elhamed had been homesick. He s really struggled with life here. He s been through a really tough time of it mentally, Lennon told BBC Scotland on Saturday. His wife and young son are back in Israel and he really wanted to go home.
