Exciting update regarding Celtic’s summer transfer plans

Next season promises to be a very interesting one for Celtic. The Hoops are facing a major rebuild after failing in their quest to secure a historic 10IAR this season.

A number of players are expected to depart Parkhead this summer including the likes of Odsonne Edouard, Kristoffer Ajer and Ryan Christie. Scott Brown is also set to leave in order to take up a player-coach role at Aberdeen. Naturally, they will have to be replaced by new faces. Thus, do not be surprised to see a very different looking Celtic team take to the pitch come next season.

As a result, the upcoming summer transfer window looks set to be very important for the club. Good recruitment in it will a go long way in the club’s rebuild. On the other hand, failure to do so could make the task for the new manager even more difficult.

And it looks like the club could be looking to get their transfer signings done early this time around ahead of the upcoming UEFA Champions League qualifiers. A report from The Scottish Sun says:

"Celts are eager to make signings early in the window ahead of the Champions League qualifiers."

Celtic are reportedly looking to make their transfer signings early in this window

It is worth pointing out that the Hoops have not managed to qualify for the Champions League in the past three seasons and it is expected that they will be eager to end that unfortunate streak this time around.

Signing players early does seem like a very good strategy to be honest. It will give them time to adjust to the club, their teammates and will also give the new manager time to have a look at them through the course of the pre-season and find out their best roles in the side.

At this point of time, it looks like the new manager will be Eddie Howe, who has been the favourite for the Parkhead job for quite some time now. And if that is the case, it should be seen as a major coup on the part of the Hoops.
