It feels like Celtic have not been active at all in the transfer market over the past several weeks. The only addition they have made was the loan signing of Jahmai Simpson-Pusey of Manchester City. But that assessment would not be completely accurate. The Hoops have been very active when it comes to engineering exits, both loan and permanent.
Right now, all fans want to see is some fresh faces brought in. And it is believed that the Hoops are working on that behind the scenes. It is not uncommon for the club to allow things to drag on until late in the window.
Even last summer, it was only on deadline day that they completed the signings of Arne Engels, Luke McCowan and Auston Trusty. So, let's wait and watch how the remaining two weeks of the transfer window play out.
On the other hand, it looks like the Hoops remain active when it comes to potential exits. As reported by the Daily Record, Dundee have held talks with Celtic over Colby Donovan. They are keen on the right-back who has impressed with the B-team. Ayr United are also interested in a loan for the 18-year-old.
Celtic hold talks over another summer transfer exit
It has been pretty common for Celtic to send their youngsters out on loan to other clubs in order to get some playing time. Because that is very hard to come by at Parkhead.
Unfortunately, no matter how things turn out for these players out on loan, it has rarely led to more opportunities in the senior team at Celtic. The club have had a tough time promoting youngsters to the senior team.
So, it should not come as a surprise that plenty of them have chosen to leave early on in their careers. Hope things change soon.
