Brendan Rodgers hopes to land new players before the February 3 deadline.
The Celtic manager wants attackers in the door at Parkhead with Kyogo having already left for Rennes in Ligue 1.
Jota has arrived to help lighten the load in the wide areas but the boss has already hinted at potentially wanting to wingers in January which is now in the works.
67 Hail Hail understands that Celtic have officially launched a bid to bring in Norwegian playmaker Sondre Ørjasæter on a permanent deal from Sarpsborg 08 this month.
The 21-year-old is highly thought of and has interested parties across Europe also considering moves for his services.

Celtic launch bid for Sarpsborg 08’s Sondre Ørjasæter
And we at 67 Hail Hail can exclusively reveal that one of those clubs to already submit a proposal to his club in a rival attempt to the Hoops is French outfit Lille.
Sarpsborg do not want to lose their star in this window but it is understood a bid of around £7million might be enough to convince them otherwise.
Ørjasæter has two years left on his contract with his current club which allows them to seek top dollar for their player.
He racked up six goals and seven assists in his most recent campaign and is seen as a strong alternative to what Celtic already have on their wings including new boy Jota, Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Yang.
Ørjasæter has transfer suitors throughout Europe
It is a move which could also potentially finally allow the sale of Luis Palma who has suitors in both the MLS as well as La Liga in Spain.
James Forrest, meanwhile, is 33 and the club need a long-term replacement for their club icon who has become a legend in Glasgow.
It is also being reported by Sky Sports that Fiorentina, Parma and Nice have registered their interest in the player but it’s Celtic and Lille who have made concrete approaches thus far.
