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 have missed out on the bargain signing of Milan van Ewijk, with AD reporting that the ADO Den Haag defender has agreed a move to Eredivisie rivals Heerenveen.
While Mikael Lustig had his fair share of critics at Parkhead, no one could argue with the consistency and the loyalty the Sweden international brought to the green half of Glasgow during seven seasons as the club’s first-choice right-back.
Two years on from his departure to Genk, Celtic have found out the hard way that replacing one of their longest-serving players was easier said than done.
