Celtic’s New Target: A Free‑Scoring French Forward

The 24‑year‑old forward is the focus of a bidding war after FC Aarau signed him on a free transfer.
Filet’s career path:

• French academies ➜ Sochaux – limited first‑team chances.
• Loan to Luxembourg: 20 goals in a season.
• Bosman move to Croatia – failed to score.
• Returned to Switzerland with Aarau, where he dropped form in the second half.

Revival in Switzerland

• 22 goals + 6 assists across 40 matches.
• Led Aarau to a promotion playoff; they lost an extra‑time lead and finished just one point behind the champions, who secured automatic promotion after a late defeat to Filet’s team.

Contract & Future

Filet’s contract expires next summer.

• Aarau: Likely to profit from a sale.
• Celtic: Must act quickly for a modest fee.

Celtic’s Current Striker Situation

Adding Filet would give Celtic a reliable target man, well‑suited to Martin O’Neill’s 4‑2‑3‑1 and addressing their uncertain striking options.
