Celtic Weighs Loan Deal for Napoli Striker Ambrosino

Celtic is actively pursuing a loan deal with Napoli for Giuseppe Ambrosino, a 21-year-old Italian striker who has yet to debut for Napoli's senior team but has shown promise in youth and Serie B football. Ambrosino, who has represented Italy at multiple youth levels and impressed at the U21 European Championships, is reportedly keen on the move to Celtic, making the potential transfer more likely. Napoli and other Serie A clubs are also interested in the striker, but Celtic's offer includes a loan with an option to buy, which aligns with Ambrosino's desire for regular playing time and development. Ambrosino is compared to players like Álvaro Morata and Giacomo Raspadori for his technical ability, mobility, and link-up play rather than being a pure goal poacher. With Celtic also having recently signed young striker Callum Osmand and having forwards Adam Idah and Johnny Kenny, Ambrosino would add depth and competition to their attacking options. While some fans may prefer a more proven striker, Ambrosino's youth international pedigree and skills offer potential upside for the Scottish champions.
