Celtic targets goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu ahead of summer transfer window

Summary

Celtic is reportedly interested in signing Gavin Bazunu as they assess goalkeeper options for the summer. Bazunu, currently with Southampton, has also attracted attention from Dinamo Zagreb. He has had a turbulent time at Southampton following injuries and falling down the pecking order, leading to loan moves. Celtic is looking for a goalkeeper to challenge current number one and cover any gaps as they shift their transfer strategy. Bazunu is contracted until summer 2027, and a move could present a fresh start for the player.
