Stephen McGinn believes that Brendan Rodgers must secure another striker for Celtic before the January transfer window closes, despite already adding winger Nicolas Kuhn to the forward line this month
While Kuhn witnessed the 5-0 win over Buckie Thistle, the ongoing discussion around Lawrence Shankland persists, with McGinn suggesting that joining Celtic could be the “final step” in his career.
The 28-year-old Shankland, currently excelling at Tynecastle with 18 goals in various competitions, has become a sought-after player. As Kyogo Furuhashi dominates as Celtic’s key striker, questions linger behind the Japanese star. McGinn supports the idea of Shankland moving to Parkhead, emphasizing the need for another striker, especially one with Shankland’s knack for scoring crucial goals.
Reflecting on Shankland’s career trajectory, McGinn notes the striker’s resurgence from a low point, progressing from the third tier of Scottish football to becoming a Scottish international linked with Celtic. However, McGinn acknowledges the financial considerations, questioning whether Celtic would be willing to meet Hearts’ likely substantial asking price for Shankland, given his value relative to Kyogo and uncertainties about his Champions League performance.
Considering these factors, McGinn suggests that many fans might resist such a transfer, emphasizing the need for careful consideration despite Celtic’s financial resources.
