Celtic have been linked with a move for Coventry City midfielder Gustavo Hamer, Football League World report.

The Lowdown: Hamer profiled

Hamer is 24 years of age and made the move to Coventry back in 2020 from PEC Zwolle. Primarily a defensive midfielder, Hamer can also turn out as a more advanced central midfielder or even at right-back.

Sponsored by Adidas, Hamer has been a regular this season, making 29 appearances under Mark Robins in all competitions. He’s registered six assists in the second tier, more than any other Coventry player, with his displays seemingly catching the eye of Parkhead chiefs.

The Latest: Hoops interest

Football League World sources shared a story regarding Hamer on Thursday lunchtime.

They claimed that the midfielder is a target for both Celtic and Rangers, while a number of Premier League clubs are also tracking his situation.

The Verdict: One to watch?

Ange Postecoglou brought in three midfielders in January, with Reo Hatate, Yosuke Ideguchi and Matt O’Riley all making the move to Celtic Park.

The Hoops seem to be fairly well-stocked in that department as a result of their early 2022 business, but a move for Hamer, labelled as 'unbelievable', could still be one to watch.

Holding midfielder Ismaila Soro hasn’t been a regular under Postecoglou, so if he moves on in the summer, perhaps Hamer could be viewed as a shrewd replacement.
