It would be an understatement to say that Celtic fans are starting to get impatient with the club's transfer activity. It is very clear that additions are needed in several positions across the pitch and the squad is most likely weaker than it was last season. Yet, with merely a week left before the new campaign begins, it seems that the Hoops are not close to completing any new signings.
There are question marks over the readiness over the ones that they have made so far. Of course, Kieran Tierney is a phenomenal player and if he can remain fit, he will be one of the best in the league straight out of the gate. Benjamin Nygren has also looked like a class talent in pre-season. Let's see if he can carry his form into the 25/26 campaign.
But other than that, have Celtic brought in anyone capable of making an impact on the first-team. Yes, Hayato Inamura has exceeded a lot of expectations but even at best, he is going to be an option to bring off the bench.
Also, how much have Celtic done to replace key players who have left in recent times? Well, if reports are accurate then they may be working on that behind the scenes.
Celtic working on deals to complete two key signings
As reported by Football Insider, Celtic are working behind the scenes to bring in replacements for Kyogo Furuhashi and Nicolas Kuhn. Brendan Rodgers’ side are targeting a new striker and winger.
Well, their recent activity does point towards the same as well. It is believed that the club have made failed bids for CFR Cluj striker Louis Munteanu and Go Ahead Eagles winger Jakob Breum.
Now, it remains to be seen who they end up bringing in in those areas of the pitch. Do not be surprised if the Hoops are working quietly behind the scenes and they turned out to be names that have not been doing the rounds of the media in recent times.
