proved an ill-fit in Glasgow as he spent last season on loan at Twente after only mustering seven league appearances following his move from Elsborg in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">And now Lagerbielke&#8217;s move to Braga will receive an official green light in the coming hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Both

tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Celtic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Meanwhile, Isak Jansson&#8217;s knack for thriving in one vs ones led him to Rapid Vienna and now appears to be the factor which has him being eyed by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Hoops appear keen on Nicolas Kuhn&#8217;s successor as the German winger himself stands on the brink of joining Como in a \u00a317.2million deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Vienna chief has revealed all on what led Jansson to Rapid and what has him firmly on the Celtic radar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He said last month: &#8220;We needed a replacement for Nicolas Kuhn after he signed for Celtic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We asked our manager what type of player he was looking for in particular and he told us he wanted someone who could beat a man, one-on-one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We did a wide data search across our target markets and in terms of dribbling and taking on players, Jansson appeared in the top three.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We looked at a lot of his videos and he was exactly what we wanted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

Vienna<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Usually, we would watch a player live, but with the timescale and the closing of the transfer window, we had no time and had to trust the data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;The risk was relatively low because we also know that in eight to nine out of ten cases, the impressions from video scouting are confirmed during live scouting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;And with Jansson, it wasn&#8217;t a risk at all because we first agreed on a free loan first and then a small transfer fee of \u00a3200,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;One week after we exercised the purchase option in the season, we had an offer of more than \u00a31 million on the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;He will clearly be transferred for many times what we paid for him. He has been an amazing success for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Follow <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Record Sport<\/strong> on <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Record_Sport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"TwitterLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DailyRecordSport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"FacebookLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dailyrecord_sport\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"InstagramLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">You can get all the news you need on our dedicated <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/rangers-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"RangersLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Rangers<\/a> and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/celtic-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"CelticLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Celtic<\/a> pages, and sign up to our <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/newsletter-preference-centre\/?view=Solus&amp;mailingListId=63d718e7-01d7-475b-8771-1036275c62c8&amp;utm_source=solusarticle\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"newslettersLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">We&#8217;re also on WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to you phone.
