The 18-year-old has been a regular with Allsvenskan side Hacken over the past year and a half, registering 45 first-team appearances despite his tender age.

One of the top talents in Sweden, Dahbo is valued at around £3.4m having recently signed a new contract with Hacken until 2025.

He is ranked as the second-best young prospect in his country and has bags of potential. The Hoops are said to have scouts watching him.

Able to operate in several midfield positions, while Brendan Rodgers is after a tad more experience this summer, Dahbo’s ability is coherent.

He is said to be happy at Hacken, though, and for someone who is not long out of school, £3.4m is a sizeable fee.

Whether this move materialises remains to be seen, but Celtic fans are becoming quietly frustrated at the lack of transfer activity from the club this summer.

In a welcomed update, though, assistant manager John Kennedy admitted yesterday there is a wealth of work going on behind the scenes as the Hoops look to strengthen for the new season.
