# Celtic: Josip Juranovic could move to Premier League

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/)’s Croatian defender Josip Juranovic could be on his way to the Premier League when the winter transfer window opens in January.**

### The Lowdown: Juranovic at Celtic

Since leaving Legia Warsaw for Celtic in the summer of 2021, Juranovic has not looked back.

The 27-year-old adapted nicely to life with the [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) giants and shone in the Europa League last season, where he was able to demonstrate his attacking threat from deep, finishing as the Hoops’ [joint-top scorer](https://www.fotmob.com/teams/9925/stats/celtic/players) in the competition with [two goals](https://www.fotmob.com/teams/9925/stats/celtic/players).

He is currently in and around his prime years, with his late bloom putting him in line for a possible Premier League switch amid [recent rumours](https://www.mailplus.co.uk/scottish-edition/sport/236611/celtic-will-consider-bids-for-juranovic-after-world-cup) linking him with a move away from Celtic, having been unable to agree a new deal with the Scottish champions.

### The Latest: Juranovic backed for England move

According to [transfer expert](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer?s=20&t=PfLDIbSydQ0hsjF1HGXgqg) Dean Jones, there is “a pretty good chance” that Juranovic leaves Parkhead during the winter, with the English top flight touted as a likely destination for the Croatia defender.

Speaking to [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88090510-celtic-transfer-news-josip-juranovic-15m-star-now-has-pretty-good-chance-of-leaving-parkhead), Jones said: *“It’ll be interesting, there is a pretty good chance that he leaves, I’m told that.*

*“And there’s no doubt he could end up in the Premier League because there have been two or three clubs watching them over the course of the season so far.”*

### The Verdict: Celtic already prepared

Amidst Celtic’s [recent capture](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/december/03/celtic-delighted-to-sign-canadian-internationalist-alistair-johnston-on-five-year-deal/) of Alistair Johnston ahead of January, it looks as though Juranovic is more disposable given that the Hoops have already strengthened their right-back ranks.

His [impressive](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/john-hartson-savages-josip-juranovic-24753852) Parkhead displays have earned him a place as Croatia’s [first-choice right-back](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/271603/Show/Josip-Juranovic) in the ongoing World Cup, and he will look to cash in on that by potentially making a dream move to the Premier League, with the hopes of going on to emulate Virgil van Dijk in [flourishing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48065752) in England after a spell at Celtic.
