David Strelec & three more deals Celtic can complete on January transfer deadline day
Celtic have just hours to finalise their January transfer window business as Brendan Rodgers and his recruitment team eye late deals.
The Hoops are in a fantastic spot and are on course to defend their Scottish Premiership crown and perhaps another domestic treble.
But they are eager not to rest on their laurels and this month, the Celts have been reshaping their squad from a position of strength.
Jota is the only signing made thus far as he sensationally returned to Celtic Park in a £8m deal from Stade Rennais.
Heartbreakingly, striker Kyogo went in the other direction as his glorious three-and-a-half year spell with Celtic came to a £10m end.
The Bhoys have also sanctioned a number of high profile loan exits – a couple being Stephen Welsh to KV Mechelen and Luis Palma to Olympiacos, among others.
So what could happen at Parkhead on transfer deadline day? 67 Hail Hail take a look at three players who could make their moves to Celtic today.
David Strelec seals big-money Celtic move
It was reported at the start of the weekend that Slovan Bratislava striker David Strelec is on Celtic’s transfer shortlist.
But any sort of deal could be a pricey one. Celtic may need to stump up £8m for the 23-year-old who played against the Bhoys in the Champions League this season.
The Hoops need a replacement for the departed Kyogo and the Slovakian Strelec could be that man.
However, Middlesbrough are also said to be chasing his signature so a deadline day bidding war could be upon us.
The Nigerian is a familiar face to Brendan Rodgers having shone under the Northern Irishman at Leicester City in the Premier League.
Iheanacho spent seven years with the Foxes – scoring 61 goals and assisting 34 – before moving to Spanish outfit Sevilla last year.
The Hoops were exploring a loan to replace the departed Kyogo, with potentially the option to buy the 28-year-old forward in the summer.
