Celtic are hoping to reinforce their forward division and have enquired about Leeds Joined forward Joe Gelhardt, as per move master, Senior member Jones.

The Bhoys have had a blended mission up until this point and Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to shape the crew as he would prefer. The Loops are driving the Scottish Prevalence table by eight, yet the hole could be shut down to two focuses provided that Officers dominate their match in hands.

While Matt O’Riley and Kyogo Furuhashi have dazzled this season, Rodgers will be stressed over the conflicting type of a portion of different advances. He will hoping to add another aggressor to the positions, and has reserved Gelhardt as an expected choice.

Any semblance of West Bromwich Albion and Scottish opponents Officers are likewise quick to sign the “phenomenal” assailant who is on £15k-per-week bargain at Elland Street.

Jones recommends that Celtic will most likely hope to sign him borrowed.

“I surmise it’d be a credit move. Gelhardt would be a pleasant profile player since he appears to be prepared to perform on the right stage,” Jones told GiveMeSport.

“He has phenomenal qualities that most likely need a touch of improvement now. I’m not astounded that enquiries are being made on the two fronts from Officers or Celtic right now. For a player like Gelhardt, it’s presumably certainty helping to have those discussions occurring around you at this moment. Whether they can happen as expected and transform into an exchange is unique, yet I don’t believe it’s hurting anyone to check what is going on out.”

Celtic have proactively reinforced the crew this month by marking Fast Vienna winger Nicolas Kuhn, who shows up at Parkhead for £3m. In any case, Gelhardt would be a breaking marking.

The Leeds assailant has overseen just two beginnings in the Title this season. At the point when Gelhardt previously showed up on the scene under Marcelo Bielsa, the club would have rather not marked new strikers mostly in light of the fact that they expected that it could hamper his development.

He actually stays as somebody with packs of potential however has been less than impressive under Farke. A transition to Celtic Park could be great for his development.

Red tape may prevent Celtics from pursuing a loan transfer for Owen Beck, a left back for Liverpool.

The Welsh Under-21 protector was reviewed to Anfield subsequent to spending the primary portion of the time at Dundee.

Brendan Rodgers has been dazzled by Beck during his stretch in the Prevalence and the young person put in a strong execution in the bosses’ 3-0 win on Tayside on Boxing Day.

Daizen Maeda spent a disappointing 66 minutes against the ferocious back-four administrator, as CQN’s match correspondent noted in his major event outline. The Japanese worldwide in the end cleared a path for South Korean Yang Hyun-jun who did’t toll much better against his pacy, speedy handling rival.

CLOSE-UP VIEW… Owen Beck is defenseless as Mikey Johnston whips in Celtic’s second objective in the 3-0 win over Dundee at Nooks Park on Boxing Day.

The Circles are searching for cover for Greg Taylor in the No.3 space with £3.75million Argentinian lemon Alexandro Bernabei liable to be coming.

Jurgen Klopp took Beck back to the been compelled to assume in the new part in ongoing games and the Liverpool supervisor may now shift focus over to Beck to give the response.

An appearance by the 21-year-old star in the top side would end any possibilities of the heroes arrival the safeguard as FIFA rules express no player can play for three groups in a similar season.

Klopp’s side actually have two Chief Association games to play before the finish of the current month’s window – against Bournemouth on Sunday and Chelsea on January 31.

THE Final detail… Greg Taylor pounds in Celtic third and last objective in the triumph over St Mirren in Paisley to get 2024 looking winning so far.

They likewise have a Carabao Cup semi-last second leg against Fulham at Fainthearted House due on Wednesday and an English Cup-tie against Title outfit Norwich City seven days on Sunday.

As the Loops hold on to perceive how that particular situation works out, it has gone cold on the detailed interest in Portuguese left-back Tiago Araujo, as per the Day to day Record.

Estoril are demanding £4million for their player and the Parkhead side don’t seem able to match that valuation.

The club have likewise held chats with FC Gwangju midfielder Jung Ho-yeon with the South Korean saw as a chance in this move window.

A significant turn is taken in the reporting on Yuki Kobayashi’s potential Celtic future.

Yuki Kobayashi is one more Celtic player plainly not later on plans of director Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead.

The Japanese safeguard was selected to the Circles when Ange Postecoglou was chief and made his Scottish Prevalence debut precisely one year prior today against St Mirren.

In any case, most would agree Kobayashi’s residency at the Loops has been very baffling. He included multiple times under Postecoglou before the Aussie-Greek legend left for Tottenham Hotspur.

What’s more, all through the 2023/24 mission, the nearest Kobayashi has been to showing up for Celticwas against Officers in September when he made the seat.

Bar that, Rodgers hasn’t allowed him any minutes in any rivalry so very much like Gustaf Lagerbielke, for instance, Kobayashi’s short term doubtlessly lies somewhere else.

That is the Day to day Mail journalist Stephen Mcgowan’s message toward the start of January, saying that Kobayashi was set to rejoin with previous Celtic mentor Harry Kewell at Yokohama F. Marinos.

Nonetheless, the reportage encompassing Kobayashi’s future has now taken an emotional turn.

The Everyday Record’s Scott Consumes is currently guaranteeing that while Celtic are looking to transport out a portion of their periphery players in the crew, Yuki Kobayashi won’t be one of them.

The report expresses that the protector is ‘probably not going to leave’ the Circles this January so it appears to be his move back to Japan with Kewell is down and out.

Kobayashi marked an incredible a five-year manage Celtic last January and it’s unmistakable a move for him presently was essential for both the club and the singular himself.

The last thing he needs is an additional a half year spent watching Celtic from the stands and managing the reality Rodgers will allow him no opportunity of playing bar a crash of harmed protectors in the group.

Jozo Simunović? WHAT HAPPENED?

JOZO SIMUNOVIC has not kicked a ball in that frame of mind since leaving Croatian club HNK Gorica in the late spring of 2022

The 29-year-old focal safeguard has battled for a long-lasting home since his delivery from Celtictoward the finish of his agreement in July two years sooner.

Simunovic showed up for country outfit Goricasubsequent to being out of the game for north of a year.

The previous Under-21 back-four administrator, who was brought to Parkhead by ex-supervisor Ronny Deila in a £4million move from Dinamo Zagreb in September 2015, was cursed by a steady knee injury in the later phases of his time in Glasgow.

He turned out just multiple times for the bosses in his last mission before the club chose not to enact the leftover a year statement in his agreement.

Simunovic brought home five championships with the Bands and his last trip came in the home 3-1 Europa Association misfortune to FC Copenhagen on February 27 2020 when he tragically gifted the Danes the initial objective with a disastrous back pass soon after the span.

His visit in Glasgow was tormented by injury. He went through a knee activity and furthermore endured knee tendon harm when he missed a gigantic piece of another season.Following his takeoff from the Loops, Simunovic was connected with Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Goztepe, yet no arrangements appeared. It was an indistinguishable story with Croatia outfit Rijeka.

There were reports Bundesliga couple Stuttgart and Augsburg were showing an interest, however, frustratingly for the player, indeed nothing was solidified.

Simunovic, however, procured an agreement with Gorica in October 2021, be that as it may, tragically, they didn’t expand the arrangement past the accompanying summer.

Presently the previous Circles fans’ most loved doesn’t exactly have the foggiest idea what’s in store – yet he is sure he will remain in football whether as a player or in another limit.

He is on record as expressing: “On the off chance that I don’t return to playing, I will remain in football — it’s actually all I contemplate. That could be instructing, office work or sports the executives. How about we find out what occurs.”

Simunovic actually monitors Celtic and is a normal guest to Parkhead on match day.

Celtic announce their first contract for January.

Celtic have reported the exchange of Yosuke Ideguchi to Vissel Kobe, the club that provided the bands with Kyogo Furuhashi and Yuki Kobayashi

Quite a while back the midfielder joined Celtic close by Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda yet a dreadful injury on his presentation away to Alloa Athletic in the Scottish Cup really grounded his Celtic profession before it had begun. Matt O’Riley made his presentation in the following apparatus, away to Hearts.

Charged as a holding midfielder with a past stretch in Europe at Leeds Joined together, Ideguchi found that position scarcely existed at Celtic where they appreciate 70% belonging in numerous homegrown matches. James McCarthy and Oliver Abildgaard faced the same outcomes.

Apparently Celtic have gotten a 1m euros expense for the midfielder, the very charge that they paid to Gamba Osaka a long time back. With conversion scale variances there might be a little benefit or misfortune.

Ideguchi showed up in his ‘debut’ season and spent the 2023 J-Association season borrowed at Avispa Fukuoka where he was short recorded for the Player of the Year Grant.

Further flights are normal from Celtic yet it has been a sluggish beginning, approaching and active, begin to the January window.

Celtic are currently ‘considering’ a bid for a Rangers-linked player, with Everton, Middlesbrough, and others.

Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, and Burnley are among the clubs said to be interested in the striker

The January transfer market is already open, and Celtic and Rangers supporters are eager to see what business their clubs will conduct at this early stage.

Before the transfer season officially began, Philippe Clement secured Wolves forward Fabio Silva on loan, and the Hoops are currently linked with a number of players, including Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna and Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski. The champions are now apparently prepared to join their Glasgow rivals in seeking a transfer for one of the Scottish Premiership’s standout performers this season.

Celtic are reportedly ‘seeking to make a bid’ for Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland, who has 18 goals this season and has been frequently linked with a move to Ibrox. Rodgers is thought to be a fan of the 28-year-old, and the club is now ‘considering’ a January bid.

However, there looks to be more to the story, and a number of clubs from across the border are thought to be considering their own bids, which is logical given the Scotland international’s goal scoring prowess this season. The outlet names seven clubs from both the English Premier League and the EFL Championship.

They include Sean Dyche’s Everton and Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace, as well as other Premier League clubs Burnley and Sheffield United. Southampton, Middlesbrough, and Hull City are rumored to be interested from the English second division.

Several reports in recent weeks have suggested that the Ibrox club is still interested in Shankland, though a summer deal is believed to be more likely at this point – providing he is still available.

Scott McKenna has been given the ‘green light’ for a move to Celtic, and Nicolas Kuhn has been promised huge things are on the way.

Nottingham Forest are open to any and all offers for Scott McKenna, who has apparently been handed permission to depart this month

Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements for the second half of the season. Nat Phillips has quietly returned to Liverpool following an underwhelming loan spell, while sources suggest that Gustaf Lagerbielke is on his way out.

Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales are the established starting two, but none of the possibilities behind them have yet totally impressed Rodgers, and reports suggest Scotland defender McKenna might be the answer.

The Hoops are said to have made preliminary inquiries about his availability, and the latest from down south indicates that Forest’s response is likely to have been good.

Forest are ready to part ways, according to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, and are open to offers with McKenna’s contract scheduled to end in six months.

Elsewhere, it looks that there has been some movement on Nicolas Kuhn…though perhaps not in the direction that Celtic would prefer.

The 24-year-old has been considered as an alternative up front for Rapid Vienna, where he has three goals .
