Celtic need additions out wide after Roberts stated he would remain with Girona.
Patrick Roberts disappointed Celtic fans by stating he would remain with Spanish side Girona until the end of the season, with Brendan Rodgers desperately needing additions out wide.
Scott Sinclair is still struggling to recapture the form that saw him shine in his first season north of the border, while the likes of Lewis Morgan, Jonny Hayes and Mikey Johnston remain well down the pecking order.
Manchester City loanee Roberts chose to ignore Celtic in the summer after two and a half seasons with the Scottish champions, by going on loan to Girona in Spain.
Rumours have suggested that the England youth international could cancel his loan in Spain after just 260 minutes of La Liga action – starting only twice against Leganes and Valencia.
Rodgers has to look elsewhere than Roberts with a new winger required, especially after Daniel Arzani suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. It should see the Northern Irish boss look to raid Paris Saint-Germain for a second time this season.
Celtic signed Odsonne Edouard for a club-record fee from the French side in the summer, and PSG’s teenage star Timothy Weah has since been placed on the loan list, after commenting on his future.
Quoted by Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre (12.33, Thursday), 18-year-old Weah stated that he is: “Just waiting on my turn and hoping I’m going on loan soon.”
Weah started for USA against England on Thursday night as the Three Lions won 3-0, and is highly-rated by the French side. But with just three appearances for Thomas Tuchel’s side this season, he could leave in January.
Celtic should offer him the chance to move to Scotland and follow Edouard in a move that would benefit all parties involved. Indeed, Weah would add speed, trickery and goals to a Celtic side in need of options out wide.
