Celtic hoping to sign Brazilian from Premier League giants this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Celtic are hoping to sign Yan Couto from Manchester City this summer.
According to Sky Sports, the Hoops have been tracking the defender since the beginning of the summer and they are looking to sign him on a loan deal.
The defender was invited to Celtic Park to watch the Europa League clash against Jablonec last night. The Hoops picked up a 3-0 win and Couto is likely to be impressed with the performance.
However, the report from Sky Sports adds that the young right-back has not decided his next loan move yet.
Ange Postecoglou needs to add more depth and quality to his defence and the Brazilian full-back could prove to be a useful option for him.
The 19-year-old is unlikely to get regular game time at Manchester City in the coming season and a move to Parkhead could be ideal for his development right now.
Regular game time at the Scottish club will help him improve as a footballer and he could return to Manchester City as a better player next summer.
The Scottish giants have been linked with the likes of Aurelio Buta, Josip Juranovic and Ko Itakura in recent weeks as well.
Couto was on loan at Girona last season and a move to Celtic would be a step-up for him. He would get regular game time at a high level and the Hoops will be able to provide him with the experience of European football as well.
