With Celtic re-signing Jota yesterday, the Hoops appear unlikely to sign another winger this month, with a host of players linked over the last month.

One player who was previously suggested as a rumoured target was Bazoumana Touré from Hammarby IF in Sweden.

Jota’s return means that Celtic may wait for a Luis Palma exit before signing another winger, with Touré reportedly on the verge of leaving Hammarby this month.

Re-signing Kieran Tierney and replacing Kyogo are now the Hoops’ main transfer targets ahead of Monday’s deadline.

With Fabrizio Romano reporting the speed at which a Touré exit to Germany is progressing, it seems likely that the move could happen sooner rather than later.

Hammarby were previously said to be demanding a record sale for a player from the Swedish leagues, with the current record standing at €11m (£9.2m).

Hoffenheim are set to smash that valuation. Christian Ilzer’s side currently sit 15th in the Bundesliga, just four points above 16th-placed Heidenheim, despite finishing 7th in the league last season.

With 9 goals and 4 assists in 23 Allsvenskan appearances, despite only joining in March for €300,000 from ASEC Mimosas in Ivory Coast, it’s set to be a huge turnaround for Touré in just 10 months.
