Celtic are still in the market for new signings this month.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has told the Daily Record that he is hoping to get more signings in before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
The Bhoys have already landed three new signings this month, with attacking reinforcements clearly the priority for Rodgers and co.
Celtic snapped up Timothy Weah and Oliver Burke on loan from Paris Saint-Germain and West Bromwich Albion respectively, bringing them in until the end of the season.
The only permanent deal so far this month has been to sign Vakoun Issouf Bayo, with the striker making a move from Slovakian side Dunajska Streda, though he hasn’t yet been able to feature for the Bhoys.
Celtic still need more reinforcements though, and Rodgers has admitted that the plan is to get more additions in, but he will be okay if no more signings come in.
“We know where we want to improve – whether we can or not, we’ll have to wait and see,” said Rodgers. “The plan would be to do something but if we don’t, okay. That’s where we’re at.”
A right back is absolutely the biggest need this month, given that Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa are both out of contract this summer and don’t look to be signing new deals any time soon.
New reports from Gazeta Wyborcza have suggested that Celtic are ready to pay €5million (£4.3million) to sign Lech Poznan right back Robert Gumny, and that would be a perfect move.
The 20-year-old Pole has blistering pace and great attacking ability, and not only would he be one for the future, but also a player who can bring something new to the Celtic side right now, with the youngster one of the most promising right backs in Europe.
