Celtic target Hannes Wolf could be on the move ‘in the next few days’, according to Borussia Monchengladbach chief Max Eberl.
The Lowdown: Ange a fan
The Hoops have already brought in two midfielders this month in Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi, however, they are seemingly after more.
Riley McGree almost made the move to Parkhead before a deal fell through, with Wolf another player who has been linked alongside MK Dons’ Matt O’Riley.
Ange Postecoglou is thought to be a ‘big’ admirer of the Monchengladbach man, who has been a ‘long-term target’ for the Hoops, and it now seems as if the 22-year-old could be on the move.
The Latest: Eberl’s comments
As reported by Fohlen Hautnah, Eberl had this to say on Wolf, claiming that he may be on the move over the coming days, not ruling out a temporary or permanent exit.
“Something might happen to him in the next few days. We’ll see whether it’s a loan or a sale when the time comes.”

The Verdict: Hoops to pounce?
Tom Rogic is the club’s only recognised attacking midfielder on the books, as per Transfermarkt. David Turnbull has also played in that role but is currently out injured, so bringing in Wolf on loan could be a shrewd move.
Things haven’t worked out for Wolf in Germany, however, if he can replicate his form for former employers RB Salzburg, where he contributed to 44 goals in 89 appearances, a transfer to Glasgow could be a smart one.
A possible option to buy included in a temporary deal, as they have with Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers, could also be of benefit to the Hoops, so it could be one to keep a close eye on ahead of the weekend.
