Celtic are weighing up a move for Mathias Kvistgaarden, according to a report.

Brendan Rodger is keen to add another attacking option to his first-team squad before the window closes in a little under two weeks.

The Scottish Sun claims that Denmark Under-21 forward Kvistgaarden could be the answer.

The Brondby striker is reportedly being considered by the Hoops recruitment team.

He scored ten goals in 37 appearances for the Superliga side last season. 

In the four matches so far this term, he's netted once and has two assists to his name.

Capped for his country at U18s, 19s, and 21s, he has already played alongside Matt O'Riley in the Danish international youth setup.

Kvistgaarden is contracted until 2027 at Brondby.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed James McCarthy is set to leave Celtic this summer.

The Republic of Ireland midfielder, 32, has endured a difficult spell at the club since signing a four-year contract at Parkhead two years ago.

McCarthy has played just 27 times for Celtic since arriving in Glasgow and only featured for the first-team for 801 minutes in total.

It has been a nightmare scenario for player and club with the move simply not working out how either party would have liked or expected.

Now, McCarthy is expected to move on and find a new club with discussions between his representatives and Celtic chiefs over any "compromise" ongoing.

“I feel real shame for James, because growing up he was obviously a Celtic supporter," said Rodgers.

“I saw him a lot down in the Premier League and he was a fantastic talent there both with Wigan and Everton.

“Sadly for James, a few injuries and a few niggles have curtailed his time here, so he will be looking to move on."
