Celtic 'raise' Jakob Breum transfer offer with winger search surging as Daizen Maeda to Brentford addressed
Brendan Rodgers is keen to add more firepower to the Scottish champions frontline this summer Celtic have reportedly raised their offer fo Go Ahead Eagles star Jakob Breum. Brendan Rodgers is on the hunt for wide men and is said to be interested in the 21-year-old this summer. The Hoops are in dire need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year which has left Celtic short. But the Glasgow Times report that interest in Breum is now intensifying after an original £1.5million offer was knocked back. The Scottish champions are said to have returned with a £1.75million that included add-ons - but it has now been raised again with £3million "put on the table." It is claimed that a £6.5million price tag has been placed on Breum by the Eagles - with the Dutch Cup holders unwilling to accept a "knockdown" offer. In terms of outgoings, versatile forward Daizen Maeda is reportedly on Brentford's agenda as they look to replace Bryan Mbeumo following his move to Manchester United. Despite Maeda stating his focus is on the Hoops going into the new season, the murmur has persisted amid reports of a £25million valuation from Parkhead chiefs. But former Celt Charlie Mulgrew insists the time is not right for the Japan international to seal a Premier League switch. Mulgrew told Go Radio: 'He probably could (handle the Premier League) with that pace and power. There is a lot of pace and power down there now. "There is a lot of off-the-ball pressing, which he would be perfect for, and counter pressing. He counter-presses teams by himself. "As soon as he loses it in their third, he chases three or four men, and he is a dream to play with. "As a defender, when somebody presses that high up the pitch. It makes your job so much easier because you can stand on the halfway line and kind of people rush passes back to you. 'He could do it down south. But he is getting towards 30 now, so I don't think he will go."

McGregor faces home truths as she targets Celtic silverware
McGregor, who left Hibs for Celtic this time a year ago, has insisted that while there isn't much talking shop at home, that the failure to get her hands on silverware this season has only served to strengthen her resolve to win the title. 'Obviously I was thrilled for her [Hunter] and I am still friendly with so many of the girls,' said McGregor. 'It was such a huge moment for them and they were entitled to go and savour every second of it. 'At home we don't actually talk too much football! We both have our jobs to do and we are 100% being the best that we can be but we don't really cross over too much with football and day-to-day life. 'But I could see what it meant to Siobhan and to all of them to go and win the league. It just makes me more determined now to come and experience that for myself.' Read more: [[Celtic]] failed to make any kind of mark last season with the downward trajectory notable given the heights of the previous campaign. They failed to pick up any points in a demanding Champions League group while domestically it was a sobering fourth place finish in the SWPL. Elena Sadiku's side also exited both Cup competitions at early stages. As such, there has been a clearout this summer with ten first-team players released by the club. So far just two have come in – former Celt Lisa Robertson and former Glasgow City player Claire Walsh. McGregor, though, believes that there have been positives to sift out from the wreckage of the season and has insisted that the appetite to atone for that this term is there. 'If you are take anything from that experience it is that we know as a squad we don't want to be in that position again,' said McGregor. 'We are determined to go out and be successful. That doesn't just apply to the league – it is to the Cups as well. 'We want to go and win everything that we possibly can. That is always the attitude. We have new players come in and they are all on the same page. We all want this club to be successful.' It wasn't all bleak on a personal level for McGregor. The midfielder claimed personal accolades along the way last term with the goal of the season award and Celtic Player of the Year award and forced herself into the Scotland squad. And having had a full season under her belt at Celtic, the club she grew up supporting, she is confident that she can kick on again. 'I have worked hard and having had a full season here, I don't have the same bedding in process. I just want to keep working hard. It was fantastic to be involved with Scotland for the first time and then obviously I was injured at the end of the season so missed out on Melissa Andreatta's first squad. 'That is a big ambition but the main priority is ensuring that I am playing well for Celtic and helping us get to where we want to this season.'
