Viljami Sinisalo, hailing from Finland, is a noteworthy character in Celtic football. Born on the 11th of October 2001, he is currently 23 years old and serving as a goalkeeping stalwart for Celtic. Sinisalo cuts a towering figure in goal with a 1.96m stature, equivalent to 6ft 5in. Furthermore, his solid, athletic build is evident with his significant weight of 87kg or 13st 9lb. Sinisalo can be seen defending Celtic's goal in the number 12 jersey.
His performance hasn't gone unnoticed on the international stage, with Sinisalo having the honour of representing the Finland national team. Based on the football website Transfermarkt, Sinisalo's current market value is estimated to be around £700k. He is safely contracted to Celtic until the end of June 2029, with over four years remaining.
Early in his career, in July 2018, Sinisalo joined the ranks of Aston Villa in the English Premier League as a trainee. He made a move to Ayr United in the Scottish Championship in September 2020, albeit on loan. After a period, he returned to Aston Villa in June 2021, marking the end of his loan relationship with Ayr United.
In July 2022, Sinisalo added another chapter to his career by transferring to Burton Albion in the English League One, again on a loan basis. During the season of 2022-2023, he managed to secure four first team appearances in league matches for Burton Albion. The loan period expired in December 2022, which saw Sinisalo return to Aston Villa.
Later, in July 2023, Sinisalo went on loan to Exeter City in the English League One. However, it wasn't until July 2024 when Sinisalo made his permanent move away from Aston Villa. He landed at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, this time for a substantial transfer fee of approximately £1m.
Although Sinisalo hasn't yet made his mark for Celtic in terms of league match appearances in the current season of 2024-2025, he has had the privilege of starting a Scottish Cup match for Celtic in the 2024-2025 season. He has also started for Finland in the Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024, further cementing his reputation as a reliable goalkeeper.
