Celtic need to sign at least one new striker in January, and some supporters have suggested a move for Florian Kamberi.

With Celtic going into the January window needing to sign a new striker, a number of fans on Twitter have suggested that Brendan Rodgers needs to have a look at Florian Kamberi.

A new forward appears set to be a priority for the Hoops next month. In comments reported by the Daily Mail, Rodgers suggested that they were already looking for another front-man before the news regarding Leigh Griffiths emerged.

Odsonne Edouard has a fantastic chance to prove over the coming weeks that he deserves to be first-choice once the new faces have arrived at Parkhead. But he was outshone on Sunday.

Hibernian claimed a surprise 2-0 win at Easter Road, and it was Kamberi who scored their second with an emphatic strike in the early stages of the second-half.

The 23-year-old chested down a cross-field pass before slamming the ball into the back of the net. And it appears that plenty of supporters now want to see Rodgers target the youngster in January.

Many of those fans are not suggesting that Kamberi is going to be able to push ahead of Edouard when the latter is enjoying his best form. But they believe he could definitely contribute having scored eight goals in 15 games this season and nine in 14 while he was on loan last term.
