Celtic Identify Key Positions to Strengthen in January Transfer Window

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has pinpointed two crucial areas of his squad that require reinforcement in the January transfer window, according to reports. The Scottish Premiership leaders are poised to invest in a left-sided wide man and an additional striker to bolster their attacking options.

Rodgers’ desire to bolster his striking department stems from his ambition to provide quality cover for the prolific duo of Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah. The Celtic manager has expressed his preference for a younger striker, a sentiment he echoed in August.

While Daizen Maeda has consistently impressed on the left flank, with James Forrest offering able support, the potential arrival of another winger could prove invaluable in January. The future of Luis Palma, who has struggled to make an impact, hangs in the balance, and his potential departure could pave the way for a new signing.

Celtic’s quest for domestic and European success has been bolstered by their impressive performances in the Champions League. With a game remaining, the Hoops are three points adrift of the automatic qualification spots for the round of 16. Securing a top-two finish in their group would be a significant achievement, and Rodgers will be eager to strengthen his squad to facilitate a deep run in the competition.

The Scottish Premiership leaders are also poised to face Rangers in the Scottish League Cup final on December 15, and Rodgers will be determined to emerge victorious. With Aberdeen threatening to challenge Celtic’s dominance in the Scottish Premiership, the Parkhead club must remain vigilant and proactive in the transfer market to maintain their competitive edge.
