Celtic considers Denis Adamov as goalkeeper option amid search
Summary

Celtic FC is reportedly exploring a move for Zenit St Petersburg goalkeeper Denis Adamov as the club seeks to bolster its goalkeeping options. With the departure of Kasper Schmeichel, the club currently relies on Viljami Sinisalo as the first-choice keeper. Adamov, who has under a year left on his contract, has emerged as a strong candidate among various options Celtic has considered recently. The 27-year-old has gained prominence at Zenit and earlier this year made his senior international debut for Russia. Adamov is reportedly interested in the opportunity to play European football with Celtic, although the club's recent exit from the Champions League means any potential involvement would now be in the Europa League.
