Hearts star Braga is reportedly on Celtic’s radar as they aim to strengthen their attacking options. The 26-year-old Portuguese attacker, who scored 17 goals in 46 games last season, has been linked with a move to Celtic along with several English clubs and teams from other European leagues. Braga, described as a versatile striker, can play anywhere across the front three, providing a potential solution to the congested attacking lineup at Celtic. The club's interest in Braga could be a tactic to generate interest or a genuine desire to bolster their squad, but it seems unlikely that he would be signed as a replacement for Jota unless a significant change in tactics takes place.",
