Some moments in a club’s history aren’t just about transfers — they are about destiny. Celtic is a club built on passion, tradition, and nights where heroes are born. Every chant echoing through Parkhead carries decades of pride, every trophy reminds supporters of battles won with courage, and every signing is a statement of ambition. Now, whispers from Italy suggest Celtic are on the verge of a move that could ignite the club’s attack and send shockwaves across Scottish football.
The right wing has long been a source of frustration. Hyunjun Yang has shown promise but lacks the explosiveness needed to consistently break defenses. James Forrest, while experienced, has often been a steady hand rather than a game-changer. Celtic have been searching for someone capable of turning every chance into danger — someone who can terrorize fullbacks, dazzle fans, and give the Parkhead attack the unpredictability it has been missing. That player may be Fares Ghedjemis.
Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph has confirmed Celtic have made a formal approach for the 23-year-old French winger from Frosinone. The Italian club are already lining up a replacement, signaling that Celtic’s interest is being taken seriously — and the window is closing fast.
“Celtic are in talks over a potential deal for Fares Ghedjemis. He’s one of a number of targets the club is working on for the RW position,” Joseph said, confirming the urgency behind the move.
Ghedjemis is electric. His dribbling is sharp, his pace devastating, and his vision razor-like. This season alone, he has played 21 matches in Serie B, scoring 8 goals, assisting twice, and creating 38 chances — all while boasting a 51% dribble success rate. He has the instincts of a predator in the final third and the flair to ignite crowds with a single flick or cut inside. Comparisons to Riyad Mahrez aren’t just flattering; they signal the potential for genuine game-changing ability.
The arrival of Ghedjemis would immediately reshape Celtic’s attack. Expect Hyunjun Yang to rotate, seeing fewer starts as Ghedjemis becomes the focal point on the right. Forrest may shift into central or substitute roles, while the left flank and attacking midfield spaces will benefit from the chaos Ghedjemis creates. His ability to cut inside, combine with central players, and deliver lethal crosses could make the team almost unplayable for opponents.
“Ghedjemis isn’t just talented — he’s a spark. He can destabilize defenses, create space for others, and instantly raise the level of our attack,” a club insider said, emphasizing how transformative he could be.
Imagine him racing down the wing, leaving defenders in his wake, delivering pinpoint crosses, or curling shots that leave goalkeepers helpless. Each match becomes a potential highlight reel, each performance a statement of intent. With him on the pitch, Celtic could shift from a team that waits for opportunities to one that relentlessly creates them, pressing, countering, and dazzling with style.
The effect on the squad could be seismic. Opponents will be forced to adjust, defenders will be drawn out of position, and teammates like central forwards and attacking midfielders could see their opportunities multiply. This isn’t just a signing — it’s a tactical weapon, a morale booster, and a fan-pleaser rolled into one.
For Celtic supporters, the anticipation is electric. Every rumor, every update, every training report will be dissected, because this is more than a player — it is the promise of moments that will be remembered, celebrated, and talked about for decades. Ghedjemis has the ability to inspire, to elevate, and to become a cornerstone of Celtic’s attack for years to come.
“If this deal goes through, we’re talking about someone who can redefine what Celtic attack looks like — a genuine difference-maker,” the source added, hinting at just how eagerly the management views the potential acquisition.
The countdown is on, the window is ticking, and the dream of a new Celtic hero is closer than ever. Fans can almost feel the electricity in the stands, the roar that will accompany every take-on, every assist, every goal. Fares Ghedjemis could be the spark that ignites Parkhead, reshapes the attack, and reminds the Scottish champions why they are a club built on ambition, history, and audacity.
