Egyptian winger Haisem Hassan set to leave Spain for Celtic move

Egyptian winger Haisem Hassan is reportedly close to joining Celtic after being relegated from La Liga with Real Oviedo last season.

According to Sky Sports, the Scottish club are on the verge of adding the 24-year-old to their squad as they look to complete a move for the Egypt international.

Hassan is set to leave Spanish football this summer, with Celtic emerging as his potential next destination.

The winger attracted attention for his pace and dribbling ability during Egypt’s FIFA World Cup match against Argentina.

His performances with the ball have been among the qualities that have helped generate interest in the 24-year-old despite a difficult campaign with Real Oviedo.

Hassan’s season ended with Oviedo being relegated from La Liga, bringing his time in Spain closer to a possible conclusion.

The Egyptian made 37 appearances for the club last season but did not score during those outings.

That record leaves room for improvement as Hassan considers the next stage of his career.

A move to Celtic would take the winger to Scotland after his spell in Spanish football and provide him with a new environment in which to continue his career.

For now, Hassan’s future appears increasingly likely to lie away from Spain, with Celtic reportedly close to securing his arrival.

The Scottish club have identified the Egyptian as a player who could strengthen their squad, while Hassan could be preparing for a new chapter after Real Oviedo’s relegation.

His pace and ability to take on opponents remain notable aspects of his game, qualities that were highlighted during his appearance against Argentina at the World Cup.

However, his lack of goals last season is an area that will need to improve if he completes his move to Celtic.

Hassan’s 37 appearances without a goal underline the need for greater attacking output, but his technical qualities have continued to attract attention.

The 24-year-old now faces a potential change of league and country, with Scotland appearing to be his likely destination.

According to Sky Sports, Celtic are close to completing the move, which would bring Hassan’s time in the Spanish Liga to an end.

His next challenge could therefore come in Scotland, where he will look to build on his strengths and improve his attacking contribution.
