Brendan Rodgers must look to add quality to the side in the summer. Here are three players he can sign from his previous clubs.
Swansea City’s Jack Cork in action with Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany
Jack Cork (Swansea)
The son of former Swansea City manager, Alan Cork, Jack is a fine central midfielder who can also play in defence. The 27-year-old started his youth career with Chelsea, but did not go on to represent the senior side.
He has loads of Premier League experience, having played for Southampton and Burnley before joining Swansea City in 2014.
He has made 68 Premier League appearances for the Swans, and has two goals to his name. Very good at tackling and ball interception, he would be a fine addition to the Celtic squad.
Liverpool’s Ben Woodburn
Ben Woodburn (Liverpool)
Undoubtedly, Liverpool’s young player of the season, Woodburn has a long career ahead of him.
While Jurgen Klopp wants the young forward to develop steadily, the German cannot give him regular game time at Anfield. In fact, he does not wish to.
It will be wise of him to send the youngster to Celtic, probably on a two year loan, where he will get a solid education under the tactically astute Rodgers, and will return as a better player.
Celtic in turn will get a terrific talent who will add significant quality and depth to the squad.
Tom Carroll (Swansea)
The former Tottenham midfielder joined Swansea only in January 2017, but has made a big impression already.
The question is can Swansea hold on to him if they get relegated this season? Probably not.
A fine central midfielder with good passing range, he would be an upgrade over the current bunch at Celtic Park. Plus, Carroll could be tempted with Champions League football as well.
