CELTIC boss Brendan Rodgers is in pursuit of strengthening the club’s defensive line as the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion.
Following the revelation by Rodgers regarding the need for a central defender due to injury woes in the squad, Southampton’s Lyanco has emerged as a potential recruit. [RecordSport]
The Brazilian centre-back, who featured in 30 Premier League games for the Saints last term, is believed to be among the players the South Coast club is willing to offload.
A prospective transfer to Besiktas in Turkey had been previously linked with the 26-year-old defender earlier this window. However, with the move falling apart, Lyanco has since drawn attention from clubs within the Premier League as well as those in the Middle East.
While Lyanco is one of the names on Rodgers’ radar, the Celtic chief has a few defensive options in mind.
As the transfer window’s clock continues its countdown, Celtic supporters await potential signings with bated breath.
