Sigur to Celtic “one step away” as Wolves lose the race
Celtic are closing in on Niko Sigur from Hajduk Split, with Croatian reporter Ižak Ante Sučić claiming the Canadian international is now “one step away” from the move. The same update says Wolves were tracking Sigur, but Celtic have moved in front in the race for his signature.
However, the deal is not being pushed over the line immediately. Sučić says the transfer is on hold for a few days after Wilfried Nancy was sacked, with more developments expected soon.
Who is Niko Sigur?
Sigur is a 22-year-old (born 09.09.2003) defensive midfielder who can also play at right-back, currently with Hajduk Split. Born in Burnaby, Canada, he holds dual eligibility and has represented Canada at senior level, while also featuring for Croatia U21 earlier in his career.
This profile explains the Celtic logic: a modern, versatile defensive player who can cover multiple roles, including right-sided defensive depth.
The agency angle – SA33 Sports Group Limited behind the move
Sigur is represented by SA33 Sports Group Limited, a London-registered agency that has been building a growing portfolio of players across the UK and Europe.
SA33 are also notable in the Celtic ecosystem because they represent Matt O’Riley, one of the most high-profile modern examples of a Celtic-related transfer pathway in recent seasons.
In practical terms, agencies matter in deals like this because they shape the route: the club-to-club dialogue, the player’s sporting plan, and the timing if there are coaching changes or uncertainty around the project.
What happens next
For now, this remains a developing story. The key points to watch are whether Celtic and Hajduk move from “close” to a formal agreement once the coaching situation settles.
If the hold is only temporary, Sigur could quickly become Celtic’s next multi-role signing – with SA33 again central to the negotiations.
