Who is Andreas Isaksson

Celtic are weighing up a move for Swedish international goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson .

The 30-year-old is out of contract at PSV Eindhoven and is interested in a move to the SPL Champions.

Despite losing his place to Polish international Przemys?aw Tyton at PSV Isaksson retained his international place playing in all three of Sweden’s matches at Euro 2012.

The stand-off with Fraser Forster has forced Celtic to look elsewhere for a goalkeeper in time for the opening Champions League qualifier on July 31 or August 1.

In the last two years Celtic have turned to Sweden to sign Mo Bangura with Isaksson’s international team-mates Daniel Majstorovic and Mikel Lustig also signed by Neil Lennon.

Moving to Scotland shouldn’t prove too difficult for Isaksson who has also played for Rennes and Manchester City after a spell with Juventus as a teenager.

In four seasons with PSV Eindhoven Isaksson has played over 150 games.

Speaking after his team’s 2-0 win over France the keeper said: “I think we played well today. We were a bit unlucky in the first two games, and we should have had at least one or two points.

“But we had a good finish, it doesn’t matter because we are out anyway, but it is good for the spirit of the team to finish with a good win.

“I don’t think it really matters that we ended France’s run. The most important thing was that we won and we did our best and we proved that we are a good team.

“This game was the beginning of something new, and it’s a good start for the following games in qualifying for the (2014) World Cup. So it’s good that we ended in a good way in this tournament.

“We just tried to do our best. We didn’t change anything. We were a bit sharper maybe today than against England.”
