# Celtic: Hoops linked with Moritz Jenz

**Celtic are monitoring Lausanne-Sport defender Moritz Jenz, according to [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7442144/fraser-forster-celtic-transfer-southampton-deal-lausanne-moritz-jenz/).**

### The Lowdown: Jenz profiled

Jenz is 22 years of age and joined his current employers in [2020](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/transfers/spieler/460245) from Fulham.

Since then, the German has made [31](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/leistungsdaten/spieler/460245) appearances for the Swiss side, scoring [once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/leistungsdaten/spieler/460245) and registering [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/leistungsdaten/spieler/460245) assist.

The [6ft 2in](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/profil/spieler/460245) defender is Lausanne-Sport’s [number four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/rueckennummern/spieler/460245) and still has [two years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/profil/spieler/460245) remaining on his deal.

He’s [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/profil/spieler/460245) a centre-back but can also play as a [right-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moritz-jenz/profil/spieler/460245), and it seems as if he is now on Celtic’s radar.

### The Latest: Recent report

[The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7442144/fraser-forster-celtic-transfer-southampton-deal-lausanne-moritz-jenz/) shared a story on Thursday evening regarding Jenz and the latest on a possible swoop for Fraser Forster.

They claimed that Hoops scouts have been alerted over the availability of the defender and are one of a number of clubs now keeping tabs on his situation.

### The Verdict: Shrewd signing?

Jenz is [reportedly](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7442144/fraser-forster-celtic-transfer-southampton-deal-lausanne-moritz-jenz/) rated at £1m, so he could possibly be a shrewd alternative to Tottenham’s Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Celtic are thought to be [in talks](https://twitter.com/lhenry019/status/1417940148700975104?s=21) over a deal for Carter-Vickers, who is valued at [£5m](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/cameron-carter-vickers-keen-celtic-24491229), so the Hoops could save £4m in a potential swoop for Jenz.

Both players can play as a centre-back or right-back, and Jenz clearly has something about him with a number of clubs across Europe [interested](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7442144/fraser-forster-celtic-transfer-southampton-deal-lausanne-moritz-jenz/).

Celtic could then potentially use funds saved by signing Jenz over Carter-Vickers on another summer addition, but they’ll have to beat multiple sides in the race for Jenz’s services.
