In January”Four Celtic targets now almost definitely won’t join.

Although Nicolas Kuhn is expected to sign a new contract with the Hoops, the Parkhead supporters will be wondering what comes next.

It looks that Nicolas Kuhn is going to join the Celtics. All the paperwork is almost finished as the Hoops and Austrian team Rapid Wien have agreed on a £2.8 million deal to sign the winger. After a London physical, Kuhn arrived in Glasgow on Monday night to officially begin his new club’s onboarding process.

After barely passing the halfway mark of the window, Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that Celtic stay busy in the final few weeks. According to journalist Anthony Joseph, the leaders of the Scottish Premiership “aim” to sign a striker and a left-back before the end of the current month. Football Insider also reports that Celtic has goalkeeping on their want list. It’s a lot to attempt to do in a mid-season timeframe, and the most recent Parkhead upgrade is a little unsettling.

Rodgers’ blow as plays are virtually ruled out

Football Scotland claims that Caoimhin Kelleher, a rumored target for a goalkeeper, would be too costly. The Liverpool player would demand a “hefty outlay” for a permanent transfer, and even in the case of a loan agreement, Celtic would require a favorable income split because the player’s current contract would not be entirely compatible with their pay structure.A transfer for Brondby attacker Mathias Kvistgaarden and Estoril left-back Tiago Araujo has “gone cold” since November, according to other reports. Romeo Amane, meanwhile, “is on the club’s shortlist” at BK Hacken, although Celtic sees him more as a summer option than a potential January addition, as his current employers will probably expect a hefty fee to part ways with him this month.

Thus, based on this information, we can conclude that Rodgers’ team will most likely not include the four players who have been most frequently associated with the Hornets this month.

Van Hooijdonk gives an optimistic

On a more positive note, Sydney van Hooijdonk of Bologna is one striker target that should be available. He is expected to depart in the second half of the transfer season, according to an Italian tabloid Gazzetta dello Sport, which published a report on Friday. If he hadn’t been needed last weekend due to teammate forward Joshua Zirkzee’s ban, he might have left sooner.

The report predicts that he will join his father Pierre at Celtic, and they add that talks should go well because each side has something the other desires, with Bologna showing interest in Parkhead player Rocco Vata. Considering that Van Hooijdonk has played relatively little football this season—he has only started two of his team’s twenty Serie A games—it is difficult to think that a sale would encounter too much opposition.

Club moves to sign Celtic star to a long-term contract

This transaction may also have a significant effect. The Dutchman had 26 goals in 54 games for his former team, Heerenveen, and Celtic could use a little extra punch in their offensive lineup. Matt Riley, a midfielder, and Kyogo Furuhashi currently share the team lead in goals scored with 10, while Hyeon-gyu Oh, the team’s designated backup, has just five after playing just under 700 minutes. In light of this, Celtic supporters shouldn’t let the latest news discourage them too much because there will be more chances, even if some goals may have to wait until the off-season.
