Viljami Sinisalo, hailing from Finland and born on the 11th of October in 2001, now plies his trade as a goalkeeper for Celtic in Scotland. The fellow stands at a towering 6ft 5in (1.96m) tall and tips the scale at 13st 9lb (87kg). His chosen jersey is the number 12. Besides domestic football, Sinisalo has also had the honour of turning out for the Finland national team.
His prowess between the sticks, according to Transfermarkt, is estimated to be worth in the region of £1m.
His career has taken him to several corners of the UK before he landed at Celtic. In July 2018, Sinisalo journeyed from his homeland to join Premier League side, Aston Villa, as a trainee. A loan stint at Ayr United in Scotland's Championship followed in September 2020, after which he returned to Villa in June 2021.
Loans became a theme in young Sinisalo's development, with July 2022 seeing him back on the move, this time to League One outfit Burton Albion. Four appearances in the first team were chalked up in his debut season with the Brewers.
With December 2022 came an end to his Burton spell and a return to parent club Aston Villa. July 2023 saw another loan spell, this time with Exeter City, another of English football's League One establishments.
The lure of the Hoops proved too strong in July 2024, with Sinisalo leaving Aston Villa permanently to join Celtic in a deal worth around £1m. Six first-team appearances were added to his tally in his debut 2024 - 2025 season, though the current 2025 - 2026 season thus far sees Sinisalo yet to add to his appearance count.
Not just a club player, Sinisalo has also seen international duty, taking part in the Euro 2022 - 2024 qualifiers for Finland with a start, and two starts both in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic and the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 for his native Finland.
