The summer transfer window should be a busy one for Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers will have his priorities where he hopes to strengthen his squad and the manager has already explained how a new wide player is his likely first port of call.
That coincides with Daizen Maeda being moved into the middle as the main striker but it also comes amid a drop in form from Nicolas Kuhn who has struggled of late.
Premier Sports pundit Michael Stewart was asked on their social club podcast whether or not Celts could consider selling the German in the coming window and he admitted that anything was possible by the way the Scottish champions do business.
Michael Stewart says Celtic will sign a striker in summer
And the ex-Hibs and Hearts midfielder explained how he feels Celtic will “clearly” look to bring in a striker no matter what happens.
“If you look at the front three Celtic have at the moment, obviously there’s flexibility in there,” Stewart said.
“Then you’ve got (Adam) Idah and Yang as backup… they are clearly going to go and recruit a big name, or main, number nine striker.
“So if you’re selling one of the wide guys you could be signing a main striker and another winger and possibly still making a profit off that if you’re to sell Nicolas Kuhn at a good price.
“Celtic have shown over the years they are not frightened to sell one of their top assets at a good price and then reinvest, perhaps not all of it, but they’ve done well at then bringing in the next guy who’s gonna make them some money.”
Which strikers have Celtic looked at
Rodgers recently hinted how he reckons Maeda can fill the lone striker spot on his own this term and beyond with Idah his deputy.
But it’s clear that after Kyogo left, the Hoops have needed extra firepower up front to give them alternative options while the bench looks a tad threadbare.
Mathias Kvistgaarden is a long-term Celtic target but his asking price could be hefty while a loan attacker might be an option after Rodgers attempted to sign Kelechi Iheanacho in January.
