Lots of Celtic fans have been talking about a rumour involving Mario Vuskovic that emerged on social media recently.

Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti recently reported that Vuskovic was excluded from Hajduk Split’s pre-season game against Aris and the young defender is already ‘preparing’ for a move to Celtic.

Should Vuskovic replace Ajer?

It has previously been reported that Vuskovic is expected to be given a four-year deal by Celtic, and that while Hajduk Split were in no rush to sell him, the Bhoys have moved quickly to seal a potential transfer.

The latest rumour surrounding Vuskovic’s future caught the attention of many Celtic fans on Twitter, as they began speculating about this claim.

“Great news. Although always will be concern the two centre-halves in/coming in kids of 19 and 21 (Especially in that position) Argument will always be now that you don’t always need a centre-half that can head the ball after Duffy, but I would like that as well.”

These Celtic fans seem happy about this news and they’d like Vuskovic to be signed by their club.

Celtic fans, can you get 8/8 on this quiz on forgotten players? First up: who is this?

The 19-year-old has already played a fair bit for the Hajduk Split senior side, also playing in Europe for the club. With Kristoffer Ajer being the subject of a bid from Norwich City, the Bhoys would need a potential replacement if the Norwegian departs.

Vuskovic is still pretty young and already boasts some experience, so the idea of him replacing Ajer might be a good one.
