Reliable source Mark Hendry has provided an update on Celtic’s transfer business. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers spoke about the requirement of quality to first team ranks and that he wanted four players to join up in the winter window. However, there have been no signings to date.
Taking to Twitter/X, Hendry clarified that the Scottish Champions are expecting to sign Nicholas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna.
Celtic expect to land Nicolas Kuhn this window, which is a wide position filled.
Striker and left-back still being looked at, lots of players offered by agencies, but scouting team still going through due diligence.

Celtic are then expected to look at bringing a left back to challenge Greg Taylor as well as a striker. These are positions that Celtic have been expected to bring in this month. Although, Hendry has clarified why there has been a delay. The club are carrying out their due diligence on potential signings, despite being offered players by agents.
It is perhaps disappointing that the club had not completed due diligence in advance of the window; however, the January window is notoriously difficult to plan for, especially with the AFCON and Asia Cup.
With Kuhn expected to be completed shortly, it would be expected that Celtic ramp up their pursuit of new targets. Rodgers wants quality and in that pursuit, the club must ensure that they get the right candidates in the door.

Wait til the window for due diligence doesn’t make sense. What’s been happening upto the window? This smacks of Lawwell transfer windows, think we are all fools.
My worry is that we don’t bring in a striker and then Oh and Maeda get injured so we are left with Kyogo as our only striker and we are praying that he doesn’t pick up a knock which would leave us in the mire
If I remember that’s what happened under Rodgers before with the sale of Dembelle then the sudden demise of Griffiths and we were left with the 18 year old Edourd to carry the striker role
We are notorious for not strengthening from a position of superiority
