Brendan Rodgers is still looking to add to his Celtic squad after signing Jota.

The Celtic manager has made just one signing so far in January after Jota signed for the Bhoys last week from Rennes.

The deal saw Kyogo Furhashi seal his Hoops exit as the Japanese striker looked to continue his career away from Celtic Park.

With the transfer window less than two days from closing, Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to get more deals signed, sealed and delivered for the Celtic fans so, with that in mind, here is 67 Hail Hail’s latest January transfer bulletin.

Talks between Celtic and Brondby for Mathias Kvistgaarden ‘broken down’

Celtic have been linked with Mathias Kvistgaarden for what seems like an age now. The Danish striker has been spoken about for over a year about a move to the Bhoys.

Kvistgaarden is the hottest property in Denmark right now and it has been reported that Brondby wanted close to £10m from Celtic for the 22-year-old.

However, Sky Sports are now reporting that talks between Celtic and the Danish club for the young forward have now ‘broken down’.

In a social media post, Sky Sports said, “Talks between Celtic and Brondby for striker Mathias Kvistgaarden have broken down, due to a gap in valuation between the clubs 💭

“Celtic have already moved on to other targets and are pursuing a loan deal for Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho, with an option to buy.”

Celtic have also expressed an interest in Sevilla’s Kelechi Iheanacho as Rodgers still searches for his replacement for Kyogo.

But now, it seems that the Bhoys face competition from Championship side, Middlesbrough, after an update by Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph.

Joseph said on social media, “UPDATE: Middlesbrough are believed to be leading the race to sign Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

“Celtic held talks with the La Liga side over a possible loan with an option-to-buy deal for the 28yo, but there was no agreement – and discussions have not developed further today.”

With just over 24 hours to go in the transfer window, the clock is ticking down for Celtic as that elusive second signing still looms.
