GOOD NEWS;Celtic has make a wise decisions over a young star

Celtic are set for a busy transfer deadline day, with several deals still on the table for Brendan Rodgers’ side before the window slams shut on Friday evening, and they have been in talks to sign another midfielder in the final hours.

Two new faces set to join Celtic

After a relatively slow summer at Parkhead, the Scottish Premiership champions have burst into action in the wake of the departure of midfielder Matt O’Riley.

The club’s Player of the Year last season, O’Riley joined Brighton in a deal worth in excess of £25m, a move which made him the club’s record sale but left a gaping hole in the Celtic squad.

The midfielder was instrumental last season, grabbing 13 goals and 11 assists in the top flight to help his side clinch the title, and while Celtic are unlikely to find a like-for-like replacement, they are keen to reinvest the money across the squad.

Rodgers’ side are closing in on a pair of late deals made available by O’Riley’s exit, with Auston Trusty set to join the club in a deal worth £6m from Sheffield United, a move which will bolster the options in the heart of defence following the departures of Gustaf Langerbielke and Yuki Kobayashi this summer.

They are also ready to add to their midfield ranks, having agreed to sign Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels in a move that represents a record fee for the Bhoys. Engels will pen a four-year deal at Parkhead, and will likely be tasked with replicating the performances of O’Riley.

But their recruitment drive is not set to stop there, and they are eyeing up yet another addition before the window closes.

Celtic make offer for midfielder

Now, it has emerged that the Bhoys are chasing a move for Alvyn Sanches as they look to add another midfielder to their ranks.
