Shocking News:Celtic summer transfer target now shining in the English Premier League few minutes ago
Celtic were linked with players far and wide during the summer transfer window, but it was always clear that Brendan Rodgers was only prepared to pursue real quality.
For many fans, trading moved far too slowly during the off-season. This was even admitted by Rodgers towards the end of the window.
In the end, Celtic brought eight players to the club. Over £30m was paid out, and the incoming transfer record was broken twice, according to chairman Peter Lawwell.
Another who could have arrived at Celtic was Facundo Buonanotte. The Brighton talent, currently on loan at Leicester, was a player the Bhoys were said to have been contenders for having caught the eye of recruitment staff.

His start to the season and recent comments from manager Steve Cooper suggest he was exactly the kind of performer Rodgers should have been pursuing.

The Argentinian attacking midfielder is looking sharp at the start of the English Premier League season. He now has two goals and two assists in six matches, including the winner for Leicester in a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
Cooper’s verdict is glowing, telling the BBC: “He’s a really talented young guy, I wish he was ours. I’ve worked with a lot of players his age and you really need to manage the programme, when they start games and when they don’t.
“He’s a brave player, in a good way he’s an aggressive player and he wants to take risks and make things happen and obviously he certainly did that today with the goal.
