Celtic striking target moves to La Liga
Posted on January 17th, 2012 | by Joe McHugh in Blogs
Senegal striker Baba Diawara has joined Seville in a €3m deal.
Celtic were heavily linked with the Maritimo striker during the last transfer window with only an issue with a work permit preventing the deal from going through.
Diawara was linked with several clubs in France and Germany before Seville moved in to snap up the 24-year-old.
Earlier today Celtic announced the signing of Jaroslaw Farut on a pre-contract deal from Polish side Slask Wroclaw.
With Diawara opting for Seville Neil Lennon will be forced to look elsewhere with the addition of a striker the number one priority during the transfer window.
Lennon hasn’t hidden his desire to bring in another striker to provide competition and back-up to Anthony Stokes and Gary Hooper who have a combined tally of 31 goals for the season.
