The January transfer window necessities for Celtic as their squad is stretched due to the Asian Cup,

Even though they signed a lot of players in the summer,

Celtic will probably be busy in January.

For the final push for the title as well as the Champions League

the following season, some positions need to be strengthened.

In some cases, it can be advantageous to add players during this window

so that they are fully integrated by the time the next campaign rolls around.

They do have a sizable roster, and manager Brendan Rodgers has already

expressed the need to reduce it, so anticipate a lot of departures as well,

whether they are permanent or on loan.

That might even be the first item on the schedule before January’s seal of arrivals.

It will be interesting to see how this one turns out because Ange

Postecoglou has a history of acting quickly at the start of the month.

Attacker
The position of center forward would seem to be the most urgent

needing attention, as Kyogo and Oh are both expected to be absent with their countries for a few weeks.

Given that those two are expected to return and that any new signing

will fall down the ladder, behind Kyogo, it might not be a good idea to splash the cash.

Winger
Another winger may likewise be on the plan. Daizen Maeda is another who

could be on Asian Cup obligation and other than Luis Palma, no other person has created consistently.

There are plenty of bodies certainly, with Yang, James Forrest,

Marco Tilio and Mikey Johnston in situ and Liel Abada

Rodgers will probably find it equally crucial to reduce the size of his bloated team.
