It's being discussed on the non-media rumours thread so may as well give it a thread.

According to reports in Holland, Scottish giants, Glasgow Celtic, are keeping tabs on Ajax Amsterdam midfielder, Thulani Serero.

The 26-year-old endured a difficult year in 2016 as he fell down the pecking order at this club in Holland, only making a handful of appearances throughout the course of the year as he lost his place to some of their younger players.

With his contract set to expire in six months’ time, there has been talk of Ajax selling him this month in order to at least try and make a little bit of money on him, however it remains to be seen whether he will hold out for a free transfer in July.

Serero has previously been linked with the likes of Reading in the UK and Bordeaux in France, however there has also been talk of a possible loan return to South Africa until his contract does expire at the end of the season.

Now it is being reported in Holland that Celtic, who ‘Cream’ has played against in the past, are showing an interest in taking him to the Scottish Premier League, with the promise of Champions League football no doubt one of the pros that they have to offer.

 

Would love him. Highly rate him.

 

Seems to work hard and never stop running but he never really stood out to me in our annual european games vs Ajax.

 

Looks like a better version of McGregor. Quite tidy on the ball, hard working but not too physical.

I'd imagine he'll be available for around £500k, so probably worth a punt.

 

Remember him against us in the Champions League and thought he was a good wee player. Tenacious and quick..

Only thing is African Cup of Nation's. Is that no possibly a month or more every year halfway through our season..

Half a mil is a steal. See him as more a squad player though rather than q stick on come in straight away..

 

I'd be delight with this purely based by the games he played against us

 

Why's he out of favour at Ajax

 

500k, would be a steal....

 

Winter breaks should take care of that these days?


If its 500k, bargain. Even if he flops we will get that back.

 

Remember the last midfielder we signed from Ajax? Serero could be the next Edgar Davids, but Derk Boerrigter has now made me terrified of signing anyone from Ajax ever again.

 

I would rather stick with McGregor and maybe bring Hourihane in as back up for Brown and Armstrong.
This guy looks a big slight to me for the Scottish game.

 

Like Sinclair you mean?

 

Why do Ajax want rid of him?

 

Good, energetic and technical wee player but height and physicality is a concern.

 

He has several players before him in the pecking order. Don't even think he has a squad number atm. and not sure he gets minutes with the second team.

 

Did he not miss an absolute sitter in the home game. Through 1 on 1 with forster after some tidy play. Goal at his mercy and hit it straight at forsters leg. We go up the other end and make it 2-0?

Not criticising just can't remember if it was him.

 

Think anything under a million and its worth the gamble. 26 years old still got his prime years ahead of him and Rodgers is probably the best manager to get his best form
