Viljami Sinisalo, born on the 11th of October 2001 in Finland, is a well-rounded goalkeeper. Currently aged 23, Sinisalo represents Celtic Football Club, a giant of the Scottish Premiership. With a daunting stature reaching 6ft 5in (1.96m) and a weight of 13st 9lb (87kg), the Finnish goalkeeper handles his number 12 jersey with both quality and composure.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £675k. Sinisalo's contract with Celtic is set to expire on the 30th of June 2029, with a wholesome 4 years and 7 months still to run.
Sinisalo started his football journey in England, joining the Premier League side Aston Villa in July 2018 as a trainee. Decision to bolster his skills through competitive football led him to Scotland in September 2020, where he was loaned to Ayr United, battling in the tough Championship terrains. Following the completion of his loan at Ayr United in June 2021, Sinisalo returned to Aston Villa.
Then came a series of loan spells for Sinisalo. In July 2022, he was loaned to Burton Albion, a club in England's League One, where he made four appearances in his debut season. A swift return to Aston Villa ensued in December 2022.
Another loan opportunity knocked at Sinisalo's door in July 2023, this time from Exeter City, again a League One fixture in England.
Then in July 2024, Sinisalo's career path brought him to Glasgow, to the famous green and white of Celtic Football Club. The transfer reportedly cost the Scottish giants around £1m. Despite having made no first team appearances in the current league season 2024-2025, Sinisalo's potential and work ethic are both seen as beneficial for Celtic's long-term plans.
Notably, Sinisalo has also represented his homeland, doing Finland proud by participating in the Euro 2022-2024 qualifiers, where he had the honour of starting a match.
