Report: Celtic want Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman

According to the Chronicle, Celtic are interested in bringing Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman to Parkhead this summer.

The 23-year-old is currently on a season-long loan with English Championship side Swansea City and is expected to go out on another loan next term after the Magpies signed former Motherwell goalie Mark Gillespie.

Celtic want to sign a goalkeeper after Fraser Forster returned to Southampton following the end of his loan deal at Parkhead and vowed to fight for his place at St. Mary’s, and Woodman could be their man.

The England youth international knows all about the Scottish Premiership having had loan stints at Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, and he has proven his quality at Swansea all over again.
