Born in Finland on 11 October 2001, Viljami Sinisalo currently stands in goal for Celtic Football Club, wearing the number 12 jersey. Towering at 6ft 5in (1.96m) and weighing 13st 9lb (87kg), Sinisalo also holds the honour of representing his native Finland on the international stage.
According to Transfermarkt, Sinisalo's market value currently sits at a comfortable estimate of £1m.
Sinisalo's prominent role within the footballing fraternity began in July 2018, when he joined Premier League team Aston Villa as a trainee. The following years were a whirl of activity and movement, as Sinisalo was loaned out to Ayr United, a Championship Scottish team, and Burton Albion and Exeter City in England.
However, despite his frequent relocations, Sinisalo's performances were nothing if not consistent. During his debut season at Burton Albion, he managed four first-team appearances in league matches, a testament to his prowess in goal.
In July 2024, Sinisalo embarked on the next chapter of his portentous career, transferring from Aston Villa to Celtic in Scotland for a fee of roughly £1m. His contribution to the team was swift and substantial, ensuring six first-team appearances in league matches during the 2024-2025 season. Yet, in the current season, 2025-2026, his appearances have been notably absent.
Nevertheless, Sinisalo's contribution to Celtic has not been limited to the Scottish Premiership. He made an impact in the team's cup runs, featuring in two starts in both the League Cup 2025-2026 and the Scottish Cup 2024-2025. His international career also remains active, representing Finland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026 and Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024, with one start in each competition.
