Celtic 'raise' Jakob Breum transfer offer with winger search surging as Daizen Maeda to Brentford addressed
Brendan Rodgers is keen to add more firepower to the Scottish champions frontline this summer Celtic have reportedly raised their offer fo Go Ahead Eagles star Jakob Breum. Brendan Rodgers is on the hunt for wide men and is said to be interested in the 21-year-old this summer. The Hoops are in dire need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year which has left Celtic short. But the Glasgow Times report that interest in Breum is now intensifying after an original £1.5million offer was knocked back. The Scottish champions are said to have returned with a £1.75million that included add-ons - but it has now been raised again with £3million "put on the table." It is claimed that a £6.5million price tag has been placed on Breum by the Eagles - with the Dutch Cup holders unwilling to accept a "knockdown" offer. In terms of outgoings, versatile forward Daizen Maeda is reportedly on Brentford's agenda as they look to replace Bryan Mbeumo following his move to Manchester United. Despite Maeda stating his focus is on the Hoops going into the new season, the murmur has persisted amid reports of a £25million valuation from Parkhead chiefs. But former Celt Charlie Mulgrew insists the time is not right for the Japan international to seal a Premier League switch. Mulgrew told Go Radio: 'He probably could (handle the Premier League) with that pace and power. There is a lot of pace and power down there now. "There is a lot of off-the-ball pressing, which he would be perfect for, and counter pressing. He counter-presses teams by himself. "As soon as he loses it in their third, he chases three or four men, and he is a dream to play with. "As a defender, when somebody presses that high up the pitch. It makes your job so much easier because you can stand on the halfway line and kind of people rush passes back to you. 'He could do it down south. But he is getting towards 30 now, so I don't think he will go."
