Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that Celtic are preparing to open talks with Hajduk Split for 22‑year‑old Niko Sigur, though no agreement has been confirmed.
- Sigur raised his profile with three appearances for Canada at the 2026 World Cup and received public praise from manager Jesse Marsch for his work rate and decision making.
- Statistical measures cited by reporters show high pass accuracy and strong defensive numbers per 90 minutes, which scouts see as a fit for a defensive midfield role that can also cover right‑back.
- Sources in the coverage note talks and targets are based on unnamed insiders and that any transfer fee and contract terms remain unreported and unverified.
- Celtic’s late‑window activity is driven by recent sales and signings, with the club pursuing other targets such as Mika Baur and Haissem Hassan and managing funds after earlier moves and a likely Arne Engels sale.
