Celtic has been linked via Hungarian outlet Csakfoci with a move for Hungarian midfielder Milan Vitalis, as the transfer rumour mill goes into full swing despite the official opening still a fortnight away…
The 24 year old who plays for recently crowned Hungarian champions Győr has also made the breakthrough to the Hungarian national side, winning six full caps to date, so he’s clearly a player of great potential.
Vitalis is a box to box midfielder
Vitalis is described as a box to box midfielder, and something of a playmaker, with an impressive record of nine goals and four assists in his sides surprising title winning campaign, the club’s first in 13 years, and for only the fifth time in their 122 year history.
The midfielder, who likes to take a free kick, also boasts an impressive successful passing accuracy of 91%, so it’s safe to say he’s a player who could well add some much needed quality to our midfield. And with Reo Hatate looking ever so likely to leave, and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain still to be offered a new deal, he looks like being a sensible signing target.
Vitalis link intensifies rumours of Robbie Keane getting Celtic job
This Vitalis link will also intensify rumours of Robbie Keane being announced as Celtic manager, due to the Irishman’s knowledge of the Hungarian game after spending last season at Gyor’s title rivals Ferencvaros, whom Gyor pipped to the title on the last day of the campaign.
Robbie Keane has been rumoured with the Celtic job in the past, and with the Irishman cutting ties with Ferencvaros those rumours have ramped up this week, with his odds tumbling. Indeed he’s now the favourite for the job on several betting sites.
It’s fair to say that appointing Keane would be controversial with many Celtic supporters due to his involvement with Israel. At this moment in time it’s only speculation. Dermot Desmond is meeting the candidates for the job next week and Keane’s name is clearly on his shortlist.
Hungarian player link will set tongues wagging
Now this solid link with a top Hungarian player will only set tongues wagging, and odds tumbling.
