As Erik Sviatchenko became the latest addition to Celtic’s ranks, the club were closing in on a deal for another Danish star with talks underway with creative midfielder Rasmus Falk.
The Odense Boldklu is out of contract this summer and has attracted the attention of a number of German clubs as well as French side Lille and Swedish side Malmo, who put Celtic out of the UEFA Champions League at the qualifying stages last summer.
The 24-year-old has had a successful season in his homeland this term and his agent, prompting interest from various quarters but his agent, Mads Bach Lunds, claimed this weekend that Celtic are the frontrunners for the midfielder’s signature.

With Falk’s contract due to expire it is believed that Celtic would get the player for a minimal fee – and would be able to get him in now in order to bed him into the squad ahead of the summer Champions League qualification games.
Sviatchenko, meanwhile, underwent a successful medical on Saturday afternoon and formalised the £1.5m switch to Celtic last night before being unveiled today.
The FC Midtylland defender has made more than 100 appearances for the Danish club and is believed to be able to play as a central defender or as a left-back.
