Former Arsenal and Everton winger Anders Limpar has suggested that Celtic's Benjamin Nygren is good enough to play in the Premier League and could attract interest from clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Everton. Limpar believes these clubs need more attacking quality and Nygren could be a valuable addition. Nygren has scored 23 goals last season and eight this campaign. His contract with Celtic runs until 2030.

Celtic have had encouraging domestic results, including a 7-1 victory over Hearts and a 2-1 win against Hibernian, but European defeats have exposed weaknesses in the squad. Martin O'Neill's team must consider January recruitment to address these weaknesses. Selling Nygren in January could affect their title ambitions and squad planning. Celtic should resist any January approach unless an exceptional offer arrives.

Manchester United are currently struggling, with an eight-match winless run in all competitions, including a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth and a 4-1 defeat to Como. This turmoil could prompt recruitment changes and potentially lead to an ambitious bid for Nygren. However, Celtic hold a stronger hand with Nygren's contract running until 2030, and any sale would require a substantial offer to fund a credible replacement.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Celtic have little reason to weaken their attack midway through a season in which domestic results remain encouraging, even as European defeats have exposed weaknesses elsewhere in Martin O’Neill’s squad. The 7-1 victory over Hearts and 2-1 win against Hibernian offered a timely response to difficult continental results. Those European setbacks make January recruitment important, but Celtic must also consider how a potential Premier League bid could affect their title ambitions and squad planning. Manchester United could provide an interesting opportunity for Celtic to test the market. Michael Carrick’s side lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth on 25 October, extending their winless run to eight matches in all competitions.
