# Celtic: Hoops linked with Jeremy Le Douaron

**Celtic have been linked with a winter window move for Stade Brestois striker Jeremy Le Douaron, [Homme du Match](https://www.hommedumatch.fr/articles/exclus-hdm/stade-brestois-le-douaron-plait-deja-en-ecosse-notamment-au-celtic_2626428) report.**

### The Lowdown: Le Douaron profiled

Le Douaron is 23 years of age and is primarily a [centre-forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/profil/spieler/737781) who can also play as a [left or right midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/profil/spieler/737781).

The [6ft 2](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/profil/spieler/737781)’ French forward has been with his current employers since [July 2020](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/profil/spieler/737781) and has scored [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/leistungsdaten/spieler/737781) times in [46](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/leistungsdaten/spieler/737781) appearances, [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/leistungsdaten/spieler/737781) of which have come in his last [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/leistungsdaten/spieler/737781) Ligue 1 appearances.

He appears to be at the peak of his powers with his career-high £1.08m [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-le-douaron/marktwertverlauf/spieler/737781) valuation, and it seems as if he could be on Ange Postecoglou’s 2022 radar.

### The Latest: Hoops links

[Homme du Match](https://www.hommedumatch.fr/articles/exclus-hdm/stade-brestois-le-douaron-plait-deja-en-ecosse-notamment-au-celtic_2626428) shared a story on Wednesday, suggesting Celtic are ‘desperate’ to add to their attacking ranks in the January market.

Celtic have ‘ticked’ Le Douaron’s name when it comes to attacking targets, with the forward valued at €2m (£1.7m).

### The Verdict: Avoid?

Even though Le Douaron could cost less than Josip Juranovic’s [£2.7m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) move in the summer, it could make sense for the Hoops to look elsewhere.

He hasn’t exactly been prolific in France, with Giorgos Giakoumakis [struggling](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georgios-giakoumakis/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/234850/plus/0?saison=&verein=371&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in Scotland despite scoring [26](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georgios-giakoumakis/leistungsdaten/spieler/234850/plus/0?saison=2020) Eredivisie goals last season.

A player like Daizen Maeda, who Celtic are thought to be [confident](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/celtic-manager-ange-postecoglou-lines-up-reunion-with-daizen-maeda-hqf7xzr0x) of signing, could be a smarter option in January as he is a player who Postecoglou will know from his time in Japan.

Maeda has netted [22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daizen-maeda/leistungsdaten/spieler/420931) times in 2021, considerably more than Le Douaron, so perhaps Michael Nicholson should avoid moving for the Stade Brestois man.
