Celtic pursue Elias Filet amid competition from Belgian and French clubs

Summary

Celtic is reportedly considering a summer transfer for French forward Elias Filet, who has drawn interest from Genk and FC Lorient. After a successful season at FC Aarau in which he scored 22 goals, Filet seeks a new opportunity as his current contract expires next summer. The forward's potential signing addresses concerns in Celtic's attacking lineup following the departures of Tomas Cvancara and Junior Adamu and with Kelechi Iheanacho's future uncertain. Swift action may benefit Celtic in acquiring Filet before other clubs finalize their offers.
