Celtic’s ‘priority’ next month is to sign a left winger, according to MailSport’s Stephen McGowan.
Brendan Rodgers is looking to strengthen his squad in January ahead of a colossal second half of the season in which the Hoops will look to compete on all fronts.
The manager held a transfer summit in Dublin last Tuesday with major shareholder Dermot Desmond, Chief Executive Michael Nicholson, and Chief Financial Officer Chris McKay.
While Rodgers wants to bring Kieran Tierney back to the club regardless of Greg Taylor’s contract situation, signing a left winger is a priority next month – and understandably so.
Daizen Maeda is the only real option on the left-hand side that fans are truly confident in.
James Forrest is out injured for the next six weeks, and Luis Palma continually fails to set the heather alight, typified in his cameo off the bench at Tannadice on Sunday.
Celtic have had an over-reliance on Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn this season, so one can see why Rodgers wants another quality winger.
The news of this priority comes amidst interest in Kyogo Furuhashi. MLS side Atlanta United, managed by ex-Celtic boss Ronny Deila, are reportedly preparing a £10m bid for the Japanese frontman.
It looks like January could be busy in Glasgow’s east end.
