Celtic signed one winger in the winter transfer window, bringing back Jota from Rennes. The Portuguese winger has done very well since his return to Parkhead and looks like a player who can once again establish himself in the starting XI over time. Despite that, it had seemed like the Hoops wanted to sign another option on the flanks but were not successful in doing that.

With Luis Palma leaving on loan to join Olympiacos, they were heavily linked with a move for Sondre Ørjasæter. But ultimately, he ended up remaining at Sarpsborg.

In the summer, do not be surprised if Celtic try to sign another winger. Especially with Nicolas Kuhn being linked with a new club almost every day after his heroics against Bayern Munich.

One player that should be on Celtic's radar is Borja Sainz. The 24-year-old has scored 15 goals in the Championship this season for Norwich City and is the competition's leading scorer right now. In total, he has scored 16 times for the Canaries this season.

Of course, Celtic already have established a relationship with Norwich City recently, having signed Adam Idah from them in the summer. Could they go back looking for another of their players this year? Time shall tell.

It is worth pointing out that the goals have dried up a bit for Sainz lately. While he has contributed with assists, his last goal came in late November. But he is still the Championship's leading goalscorer, which goes on to show the kind of form he was in in the early months of the campaign.

Also, one cannot forget that Norwich City are not a team that is competing near the top of the Championship right now. That makes Sainz's numbers even more impressive. His deal with the Canaries is believed to run out in the summer of 2026.
