Celtic are a player short after Daniel Arzani got injured.
Daniel Arzani’s season ending ACL injury poses a potential problem for Celtic to address in January.
High on Brendan Rodgers’ shortlist should be Tottenham Hotspur winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
N’Koudou’s Tottenham career appears to be into it’s final stretch, with the former France under-21 international failing to win over Mauricio Pochettino.
He was not even an option in the Champions League last night because Tottenham decided not to register him in their squad for the competition.
N’Koudou will argue he has not been given a proper chance at Spurs, and to an extent it’s true despite him being there since 2016.
He has never started a Premier League game, let alone get a run in the team.
Celtic should make him a high priority to bring to Parkhead for a January loan.
For both clubs and player, there is little to lose.
Tottenham did not get any bids for the winger in the summer, and a successful spell at Celtic could generate some interest. Even if he performs poorly, Spurs are in no worse a position.
Celtic meanwhile would get a player with real potential, a 23-year-old who cost £11 million two summers ago after a 10 goal season for Marseille in 2015/16.
He showed flashes in pre-season this year too, scoring in friendly games against AC Milan and Barcelona.
If given the opportunity to replace Arzani, N’Koudou should jump at the chance.
