Report: Red Bulls Set to Sign Celtic Forward Cameron Harper

New York Red Bulls are linked with Celtic forward Cameron Harper according to The Herald in Scotland. The American winger has found it difficult to break out of the Celtic reserves and now looks to come to New York in order to further advance his career.

The move comes with a major need as the Red Bulls have suffered in the forward position. While Harper isn't necessarily an out-and-out striker, he has experience in several forward positions that could make him one of the more dangerous players for the club.

Initially it appeared as if New York was going to wait on a move after Harper signed a pre-contract. However, it appears that the team wants him sooner and both sides have agreed to a transfer fee. The amount is undisclosed but Harper's move is one that represents and invigorated side that, at times, was woefully under-manned last season in the forward position.

Harper was born in Sacramento, California and joined Celtic last July. The move brings him back to the United States where he will more than likely be featured on a more consistent basis in either the MLS club or the USL New York Red Bulls II.

Confirmation on this transfer is still pending and anything can happen. However, it appears that New York continues to make moves with less than 60 days remaining until the start of the 2021 season.

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
