Recent reports from Mexico, as mentioned by The Scottish Sun, suggest that Celtic is closely monitoring Armando Gonzalez and has sent scouts to evaluate his performance for a possible summer transfer. However, they face competition from Barcelona and West Ham, according to The Daily Record.
The 22-year-old Mexico international started his youth career at Real Aguascalientes and Chivas before moving to Tapatío in the second tier. He debuted professionally in November 2020 but returned to Chivas ahead of the 2023-24 season.
After limited appearances in the top league over the last two years, Gonzalez made his mark last year by scoring 12 goals in the Apertura 2025 season. He shared the Golden Boot with Paulinho and João Pedro as the league’s top scorer and received the Liga MX MVP award for his significant impact in Mexican football.
