Sun reporter makes huge claim over Celtic’s Aaron Mooy move

Derek McGregor has claimed that Ange Postecoglou was given the choice of selecting between Aaron Mooy and Edouard Michut. 

Last night a number of reporters tweeted that the Australian midfielder was about to become a Celtic player. 

While budgets are flexible it seems strange if Postecoglou had to make a choice between two players, having delivered success and added tens of millions to turnover it would see logical that both players could be signed if that is the managers thinking. 

Late on Sunday night Sun reporter McGregor tweeted: 

My belief is that Ange Postecoglou had a choice between the potential of £2 million PSG youngster Edouard Michut and the proven pedigree of free agent Aaron Mooy, a player he knows and trusts. He’s gone for Mooy. 

McGregor has covered Scottish football for 30 years, last week he was in Austria and Slovenia to cover Celtic’s pre-season build up. 

After Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Blackburn Rovers Postecoglou spoke about signing two new players this week, it seems like an Australian is looking more likely than the young PSG midfielder. 

So far this window Celtic have spent around £18m in transfer fees for Jota, Cameron Carter Vickers, Daezen Maeda and Alexandro Bernabei.
