Celtic’s transfer business is ramping up significantly.
The Hoops announced the signing of Michel-Ange Balikwisha on Thursday evening with the winger joining on a five-year contract from Royal Antwerp.
While Adam Idah is on the verge of switching to Swansea City with Celtic set to make a loss on the striker they signed for £9m last August.
With that, Celtic need a forward to replace Idah. And it appears the club’s top target is Kasper Dolberg of Anderlecht.
Now, Sky Sports have dropped a fresh update on the pursuit.

Celtic and Anderlecht get Dolberg talks underway
Anthony Joseph is stating that transfer talks between Celtic and Anderlecht are now underway concerning striker Dolberg.
The Bhoys were told earlier in the summer that Dolberg would cost £10m if he were to be moved on by the Belgian giants.
However, given Anderlecht were knocked out of the Europa Conference League play-offs last night, they are willing to sell Dolberg at a reduced rate.
Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad are claiming that Celtic are willing to pay around £8.6m for Dolberg, who scored 24 goals in all competitions last season.
The Hoops have just over three days to get the deal finalised with the transfer window set to shut at 7pm BST on Monday evening.
Who else are Celtic linked with?
Celtic are now scrambling to get deals done after weeks of inactivity and a failure to qualify for the Champions League league phase.
Hammarby winger Sebastian Tounekti is on the club’s radar and it was reported Celtic are willing to lodge a second offer after their first of €3m was turned down.
The Swedes want closer to €6m for the Tunisian international, with French side Toulouse also pursuing a deal.
Meanwhile, Marcelo Saracchi is undergoing a medical for Celtic ahead of a loan switch from Boca Juniors. The 27-year-old will provide cover for Kieran Tierney at left-back.
