According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic want to sign West Bromwich Albion duo Kyle Edwards and Rekeem Harper on loan in January.

Neil Lennon allegedly wants to strengthen his side in the January transfer window, with both Edwards and Harper on his wish list.

Harper is a particularly interesting target as Celtic were pursuing his signature back in the summer of 2019, with Lennon even going to watch him in action.

Harper ended up choosing West Brom instead, but Lennon hasn’t shelved his interest, with Edwards now wanted too.

Edwards, 22, hit two goals and four assists for West Brom last season, but has only appeeared five times in the Premier League this term.

A speedy left-sided winger, Edwards looks to have a bright future but needs playing time, whilst the same goes for midfielder Harper.

Celtic’s Head of Recruitment Nick Hammond has ties to West Brom and may look to raid his former club in January, though a pair of young loanees from the Premier League may not be what Celtic fans have in mind for January reinforcements.
