Celtic Target Kelleher: Sutton Urges Liverpool Keeper to Make Paradise Move

By Patrick Sinat, Celtic Correspondent

Chris Sutton, the former Celtic striker, has endorsed Caoimhin Kelleher’s potential move to Celtic, citing the Liverpool goalkeeper’s Irish roots and the club’s need for a top-class keeper.

“Caoimhin Kelleher could move anywhere, really,” Sutton said on It’s All Kicking Off. “He’s the best back-up keeper I’ve ever seen in the Premier League. Celtic, due to his Irish roots, would be a great fit.”

Kelleher’s Future in Doubt

The Republic of Ireland international has struggled to displace Alisson Becker as Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper. With his contract expiring in 2026, Kelleher has expressed his desire to become a number one goalkeeper.

“I love the club, I love the fans, and I have a great relationship with the players and the staff,” Kelleher said. “Whether it’s here at Liverpool or somewhere else, I do feel the next step for me is to be a No 1.”

Previous Links to Celtic

Kelleher has been linked to Celtic several times, with a reported £15 million price tag in June. While Celtic’s financial health is strong, Gary Gillespie warned that smaller Premier League clubs could offer more lucrative deals.

“Celtic’s financial situation is good, but they might struggle to match the wages offered by smaller Premier League clubs,” Gillespie said.

Sutton’s endorsement adds to the speculation surrounding Kelleher’s future. Celtic’s interest in the keeper is well-documented, and Kelleher’s Irish heritage makes the move an attractive proposition.

Key Points:

• Chris Sutton urges Caoimhin Kelleher to join Celtic
• Kelleher struggles to displace Alisson Becker at Liverpool
• Celtic previously linked with Kelleher, but £15 million price tag proved prohibitive
• Kelleher seeks number one goalkeeper role
• Gary Gillespie warns of competition from smaller Premier League clubs

Analysis:

Celtic’s pursuit of Kelleher highlights the club’s ambition to strengthen their squad. With Kasper Schmeichel’s future uncertain, Kelleher would be an ideal replacement. Celtic’s financial stability and competitive wages make them an attractive option for the Irish keeper.

As the transfer window approaches, Celtic’s move for Kelleher will be closely watched. Will the Irish goalkeeper make the move to Paradise?
