Celtic Set To Reignite Interest In This 21-Year-Old Player: Would He Fix Their Problem?
Celtic Set To Reignite Interest In This 21-Year-Old Player: Would He Fix Their Problem? Celtic enter the final weeks of the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership campaign in third place, three points behind leaders Hearts and two behind Rangers. It is one of the tightest title races Scottish football has seen in decades.
The defending champions, usually so dominant, now face the real possibility of losing their crown to Hearts, who are a club chasing their first top-flight title since 1960. No matter how the race ends, the need for a major squad overhaul this summer is the most urgent task for the Parkhead board as the next transfer window looms. Celtic Set to Revive Chaiwa Interest Ahead of Summer Window Football Insider journalist Pete O’Rourke recently reported that Celtic still have a serious interest in Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa.
While the club looked into a January move before backing off, O’Rourke notes that the 21-year-old Zambian international is the young, developing talent Celtic look for. More importantly, he has performed well in head-to-head matches against Celtic in the Premiership this season. Chaiwa has made 19 league appearances, playing 1,134 minutes and recording one goal from 12 shots across 15 starts.
Since Hibs signed him from Young Boys for around £0. 8 million last August, Celtic could secure a relatively cheap deal for a player who already knows the league. “I’m sure he’s a player who remains on their radar.
They did consider a move in January, but nothing really materialised. “Chaiwa has had a really good season for Hibs, he’s just 21 as well, so he would fit the profile for the type of player that Celtic are trying to bring in to develop. “And again, he has impressed against Celtic when he has come up against them this season in the Scottish Premiership.
