Benjamin Siegrist’s agent says the Dundee United keeper is a wanted man by many clubs- including Celtic.
Reports have emerged that the Arabs man is a stopper in-demand, no real surprise given his form this season. Siegrist has been excellent for Micky Mellon but now teams like Celtic have taken notice.
As well as the Premiership champions, top-flight clubs in England, Germany and Holland are after the keeper who arrived at Tannadice in 2018. Celtic have even gone as far as scouting him.
Neil Lennon would like a keeper in in before Celtic play Rangers on January 2 but Siegrist’s agent, Dr Thomas Kraft, says finances will dictate things (Daily Mail): “Benjamin has had an extraordinary season and the match against Hibernian he produced a high level performance.
“There is interest in him from clubs in the Bundesliga and the Dutch Eredivisie. Celtic have also scouted him several times, that is true. But today, at this moment, we have no official offer from Celtic.
“Will Benjamin leave Dundee United in January? It depends on the financial situation at United. You would have to ask the club, it’s difficult for me to say.
“If there was a chance to move to Celtic then that would be a very good step for Benjamin. The other option is to sell him in the summer, but if there is an opportunity in January that could be probable.”
