Brendan targets January transfer business as Celtic look to strengthen | OneFootball

Brendan Rodgers has said that he is hoping to strengthen his Celtic side when the January transfer window opens. The Scottish Champions opened up a fourteen-point gap at the top of the Premiership table after a 4-0 win over St Johnstone. Despite the commanding lead, Brendan told the post-match media conference that he is hoping to strengthen in the January window.

“We hope so. I think I always like to add goals to my teams in January where I can add that threat and that freshness to the squad. We were able to do that last January with Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah which was great for us.

“We’ll look to do the same I just think I will look at it now 12 months on to where we were this time last year. We’re in a good place however we want to keep improving so we hope to be able to do that.”

Celtic will look to add quality to the wide areas with Brendan looking to add competition for Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn. Brendan will also be keen for his team to sell or loan a number of players as he looks to continue trimming the squad. Luis Palma, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh have been linked with exits to assist with their limited game time.

Supporters on social media have suggested that a return for Jota could satisfy Celtic’s search for a new winger. Although, Celtic will likely have a number of targets that they will hope can have the same impact that Kühn and Idah have had.
