Celtic gain advantage in Balazs Toth pursuit after Udinese withdraws

Celtic's interest in Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Balazs Toth has been given a boost as Udinese is no longer pursuing the Hungary international. Talks with Toth began last week, but no formal bid has been made yet. Toth, who is in the final year of his contract, recently rejected an extension offer from Blackburn. His performances in the past season earned him the club’s Players’ Player of the Year award. Celtic remains open to other goalkeeping options, including 21-year-old Leo Cavallius.
