Breaking News: Celtic FC Secure Sheffield Wednesday Midfielder Gustavo Hamer for January Transfer Window
Celtic FC have made a major breakthrough in the transfer market, confirming that they have secured the services of Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Gustavo Hamer, who will officially join the Scottish champions in the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old Brazilian-born Dutch midfielder, renowned for his creativity, passing range, and ability to control the tempo in midfield, has been one of Sheffield Wednesday’s standout performers since his arrival at Hillsborough. His versatility in both attacking and defensive roles has made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the Championship.
According to club insiders, Celtic fought off competition from several English Premier League sides who had expressed interest in Hamer. The deal is believed to include a lucrative package that secures him at Parkhead until the summer of 2028, strengthening Brendan Rodgers’ squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season.
The signing comes at a pivotal time for Celtic, who are not only seeking to defend their Scottish Premiership crown but also aiming to make significant progress in European competitions. Hamer’s arrival is expected to inject both creativity and steel into the midfield, an area Rodgers has reportedly been keen to bolster.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed his delight with the signing:
> “Gustavo is a player of real quality. He has the energy, intelligence, and technical ability that will fit perfectly into the way we want to play. We believe he will make an immediate impact and give us an extra edge in both domestic and European matches.”
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday fans are bracing for the departure of one of their key men, though the club will receive a significant transfer fee that could be reinvested into their squad as they battle for stability in the Championship.
Hamer himself shared his excitement about the move:
> “Celtic are a massive club with an incredible history and passionate supporters. I can’t wait to play at Celtic Park and be part of the journey with this team. My focus is to help the club win trophies and succeed in Europe.”
With the January window set to bring him north of the border, Celtic fans can look forward to welcoming a proven midfielder who has already demonstrated his class in English football. The signing signals clear intent from Celtic as they aim to strengthen their dominance in Scotland and compete with Europe’s elite.
