Our lad, Viljami Sinisalo, born on 11 October 2001 in Finland and portraying an imposing stature with the height of 6ft 5in (1.96m) and a hefty build weighing 13st 9lb (87kg), has graced the pitch as a goalkeeper for our beloved Celtic. Hoisting the number 12 jersey, Sinisalo's prowess extends beyond the club as he donned the national colours for the Finnish squad.

It's been noted that the chap's current market value stands at approximately £850,000. It's no secret that this estimable figure has been stipulated by Transfermarkt.

The beginnings of Sinisalo's professional life witnessed him joining Aston Villa of the English Premier League back in July 2018 as a trainee. Highlighting his journey further, in September 2020, he was loaned out to Ayr United, a Scottish Championship club. In June 2021, the end of his loan period beckoned, and he returned to Aston Villa.

Embracing further challenges in the Premier League, Sinisalo took up another loan spell in July 2022, this time with Burton Albion. Here, he was given a chance to prove his worth, and he did, by making four first team league appearances in his debut season 2022 - 2023.

On completion of his loan spell with Burton Albion, he made yet another return to is parent club Aston Villa in December 2022. The changing landscape of Sinisalo's career witnessed a move from Aston Villa to Exeter City in League One, again on loan in July 2023.

When July 2024 rolled around, Sinisalo's time spent making his rounds in England's League One came to an end. The lad fired a farewell salvo to Aston Villa and greeted Celtic with a gracious nod. The transaction saw Celtic's treasure chest lighter by £1m. And we have gotten our value for money, during his time at Celtic, Sinisalo made six appearances in the league during the 2024 - 2025 season. During the current 2025 - 2026 season, he's already made an appearance in league matches.

Sinisalo's run with Celtic also saw him off the bench starting twice in the League Cup for the 2025 - 2026 season. Furthermore, to add to his already impressive resume, he has participated twice in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe for Finland, from 2024 - 2026.
