Tottenham Hotspur Open Door For Celtic Player's Exit

Ange Postecoglou is still fondly remembered by the Celtic fans for what he achieved during his two years at Parkhead. The Australian might have helped the Scottish champions once again, even though he is no longer the manager of the club.

Tottenham Hotspur were looking for a centre-back this January. And it looks like they have gotten their man.

According to Sky Sports, Radu Dragusin has decided to join Tottenham Hotspur over Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions made a late bid for the Genoa centre-back but he has chosen Postecoglou's team.

What is this relevant to Celtic? Because Genoa could turn towards one of their players to replace the outgoing Dragusin.

According to Nicolo Schira, Genoa and Lecce have shown an interest in Gustaf Lagerbielke.

Lagerbielke arrived at Celtic just last summer in a £3 million transfer move. The Swede made some regular starts early on too, when many of the club's centre-backs were out injured.

Since many of them have returned to fitness, Lagerbielke has found game time a lot more difficult to come.

He has had one big moment in a Celtic shirt already, scoring a winner against Feyenoord in the Champions League. But even that has not convinced Brendan Rodgers to give him more playing time.

It is believed that Celtic are open to the prospect of Lagerbielke leaving the club in the January transfer window.

If Genoa are indeed interested in him, then the Serie A club could be a good destination for someone like Lagerbielke.

Of course, the Italian club must have some money to spend at the moment, with Dragusin heading to Tottenham Hotspur in a €30 million move. That could help Celtic fetch a decent transfer fee for Lagerbielke.

While there have been some calls for Lagerbielke to be given more first-team chances, the truth is that he just does not seem to fit the club's style of play and signing him might have been a case of bad recruitment from the beginning.
