Anthony Joseph questions Celtic’s ‘bizarre’ Oliver Sørensen signing in damning assessment
Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph has questioned Celtic’s decision to sign Oliver Sørensen, revealing that the Danish midfielder was recommended to the club by an agent during the closing stages of the summer transfer window.
Sørensen joined the Scottish champions from Parma on a season-long loan with an option to buy, as Celtic looked to strengthen their midfield following unsuccessful pursuits of other targets.
The 24-year-old has struggled to establish himself since arriving in Glasgow, despite being handed opportunities by Martin O’Neill, including starts in the Europa League.
Joseph believes the circumstances surrounding Sørensen’s arrival raise questions about Celtic’s recruitment strategy, particularly after the club failed to secure deals for Luka Gineitis and Mamić.
Speaking to Celtic Fans TV, Joseph said:
“Sorensen was a bizarre signing, recommended by an agent to sort of fill in a gap in midfield because they knew that they weren’t going to get Mamic, well, weren’t going to splash out on him and were in negotiations for Gineitis.
“Sørensen was meant to be a more attacking midfielder but every time I watch him I honestly don’t know what he does!
“I don’t want to be disrespectful to him but I don’t know what he brings to a football team. Every time he’s on the pitch I can’t see what type of player he is. I can’t work it out and he’s played plenty of games already.”
