Bologna’s Sydney van Hooijdonk has been linked with a move to Celtic and his camp were keen on carrying out a deal with Brendan Rodgers’ side in the winter market.
On Tuesday, Voetbal International explained that Celtic were falling behind Norwich City in the transfer race.
Alfredo Pedullà now states Brendan Rodgers’ target is a step away from joining Norwich City on a loan deal with an option to buy.
Van Hooijdonk has been restricted to 382 minutes of action from 11 games this season. He, along with his camp, have been evaluating the best possible solution to leave the Serie A side.
It’s said the striker’s agent has been waiting for Brendan Rodgers’ side to make a concrete approach, especially because joining Celtic has been his ‘family’s real target’.
Celtic don’t appear to have made the decisive push required to secure the Dutchman’s services and he’s now ‘one step away’ from making a switch to Norwich City.
