# Celtic: Hoops eye up summer move for Ryan Mmaee

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) are interested in signing Ferencvaros striker Ryan Mmaee during the summer transfer window, according to a fresh claim doing the rounds.**

### The Lowdown: Attacking reinforcements needed?

Ange Postecoglou is already working hard on getting some summer business done, with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota hoping to [seal permanent moves](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/jota-set-complete-celtic-transfer-27054968?_ga=2.15987574.1157120517.1653425138-1992763671.1653425137) to Parkhead.

With a [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) title defence and a return to the Champions League coming in 2022/23, a number of new players may be required across several positions.

It could be that a new striker comes in to increase the competition for places up front and bring more firepower to the squad, with a new transfer claim suggesting as much.

### The Latest: Celtic eye up Mmaee signing

According to [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-mmaee-wanted-celtic-ferencvaros-27067390?110=), Celtic are keen on signing Mmaee this summer, with ‘extensive data analysis undertaken’ in recent months as Postecoglou is keen to strengthen the firepower within his squad.

The 24-year-old [scored once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-mmaee/leistungsdaten/spieler/249543) for Ferencvaros in this season’s Europa League, in which he played twice (and grabbed [one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-mmaee/leistungsdaten/spieler/249543)) against the Hoops.

More impressively, he netted [19 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-mmaee/alletore/spieler/249543) and registered 11 assists for the Hungarian champions, a scoring return bettered [only by Kyogo Furuhashi](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/leistungsdaten/verein/371) at Parkhead this term.

### The Verdict: Shrewd summer addition

Mmaee could be an ideal player to bring in for the Hoops this summer, with Postecoglou already seeing up close the threat the 24-year-old can provide following the two Europa League clashes against Ferencvaros.

The forward also has [four goals in 11 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-mmaee/profil/spieler/249543) for Morocco, highlighting his international pedigree, so a move to Celtic is unlikely to be too daunting for him.

For all of the Hoops’ brilliance in 2021/22, Liel Abada was their leading scorer in the Premiership with [just 10 goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic), so Mmaee could be the man to add that greater attacking threat that Postecoglou is apparently seeking.
