Celtic have finally managed to add to their ranks up front in this winter window by bringing in Tomas Cvancara from Borussia Monchengladbach. For now, it is only a loan until the end of the season. But the Hoops are believed to hold an option to buy as well, which could come in handy if the Czech striker ends up having a good spell at Parkhead.
On the other hand, there are several other positions across the pitch where Celtic will be looking to add to between now and the end of the winter window. One of them is on the flanks.
Celtic have been linked with, and even made an offer for, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi of Crystal Palace. Now, it remains to be seen whether they will have any luck in that regard. It is worth pointing out though that he is not the only one wanted by the Hoops.
Another winger Celtic seem to have on their radar is Yaser Asprilla of Girona. And there is a positive update for the Hoops, when it comes to their chances of signing him.
Reliable source confirms Yaser Asprilla transfer boost for Celtic
As reported by Mark Hendry, one of the most reliable journalists in Scottish football, on CeltsAreHere, Celtic have approached Asprilla’s club to learn their position on the player. They have been told a loan move will likely be sanctioned.
Now, it remains to be seen if Celtic end up moving forward in their attempts to bring in Asprilla to Parkhead. He is seen as someone who could easily become one of the best in the Scottish league.
But Celtic are not the only ones trying to sign him either. It is believed that close to a dozen teams have him on their radar and want to sign this winter.
