Viljami Sinisalo, a Celtic goalkeeper and Finland representative, was born in Finland on the 11th of October, 2001. This imposing figure between the sticks stands at 6ft 5in (1.96m) and weighs in at a solid 13st 9lb (87kg). This agile giant dons the number 12 jersey for his team. It's worth pointing out that, at a sprightly 23 years of age, his market value sits nicely around £700k, as per Transfermarkt. His current contract obliges the lad to Celtic service until the summer of 2029, specifically the 30th of June.
The early days of Sinisalo's professional career saw him joining the ranks of Aston Villa in the English Premier League as a trainee in July 2018. However, it wasn't long before he was on the move again, heading north in September 2020 to Ayr United's championship team in bonny Scotland. This was a loan move, though, and with the end of the season in June 2021, the lad was back in Aston Villa's ranks.
A year down the road, in July 2022, Sinisalo swapped Villa's comforts for the rough and tumble of Burton Albion in England's League One, another loan sojourn. He made his mark, appearing four times in his debut season. By December of the same year, however, his loan tenure was complete, and it was back to Villa.
In July 2023, it seems Sinisalo had developed somewhat of a taste for new surroundings. This time, he was off on loan to Exeter City, another League One outfit down south.
However, the winds of change swept in once again, and in July 2024 Sinisalo made the move that brings us to our current circumstances. He transferred from Aston Villa to Celtic for a moderate sum of £1m. His debut season at Celtic in 2024-2025 has yet to see him shine with no first-team league appearances to his name thus far.
It’s also worth noting that Sinisalo, on the international stage, was involved in the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024 for Finland, where he stamped his mark with one start. His journey so far has been entwined with chance and change, but it is clear that this Finnish netminder has a promising career ahead, no more so than at Celtic.
