Celtic should be looking for another right back this summer.

Celtic have tied up one signing so far this summer having snapped up forward Odsonne Edouard on a permanent basis, but more signings will be wanted.

Brendan Rodgers men have won a second straight treble, but there should be a number of areas that Celtic consider improving, particularly at right back.

The Bhoys have seen Mikael Lustig become a regular over the years, but he wasn’t quite at his best last term, and with Rodgers clearly unconvinced by Cristian Gamboa, centre back Jack Hendry was plugged into playing at right back.

Another right back should be signed this summer, especially if Gamboa does move on, and landing one of the breakout performers of the World Cup should be on Rodgers’ wish list.

Peru may have bowed out of the competition after defeats to Denmark and France, but right back Luis Advincula has caught the eye with some impressive performances in Ricardo Gareca’s defence.

Advincula, 28, has been something of a nomad over the course of his career, turning out for the likes of Juan Aurich, Sporting Cristal, Hoffenheim, Ponte Preta, Vitoria Setubal, Bursaspor, Newell’s Old Boys and Tigres UANL, whilst he is currently out on loan at Lobos BUAP in Mexico.

The full back has impressed with his blistering pace and attacking play, and whilst his career hasn’t been anything to write home about, he has shown at the World Cup – and at the 2016 Copa America tournament – that he has a lot to offer.

Celtic should be looking at the more attack-minded Advincula to challenge the solid and dependable Lustig, and a host of Bhoys fans have taken to Twitter during the World Cup to suggest that Rodgers should be in the market for the Peruvian this summer.
