According to The Daily Star, Celtic winger Jonny Hayes could go out on loan in the January transfer window.

Sensible idea

Hayes joined Celtic from Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Herald to be worth £1 million.

The 31-year-old winger has struggled to establish himself in the Celtic lineup, and is not an important player in Brendan Rodgers’s team.

So far this season, the Republic of Ireland international has played in just six Scottish Premiership matches, providing one assist in the process, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Hayes is a good winger who has proved himself in the Scottish Premiership, and a loan move away in the January transfer window will be sensible.

Two reported targets

According to The Daily Star, Celtic are interested in striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo from Dunajska Streda in the January transfer window and have made a £2 million bid for the 21-year-old.

The Hoops are also claimed to be interested in securing the services of 18-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker Timothy Weah.
