Celtic are targeting the signing of a winger as Brendan Rodgers aims to bolster his attacking options before the end of the January transfer window.

The Hoops are actually well stocked in this area, so it may have come as a surprise to fans when it was reported the club could sign not just one but two wide men.

The struggling Luis Palma has been linked with a switch to Rayo Vallecano of late, so a replacement will be required if the Honduran is to depart.

Aston Villa’s Louie Barry is being monitored by Celtic, while the Bhoys have allegedly entered into talks over the potential signing of Sarpsborg 08 FF star Sondre Ørjasæter.

But it has now been revealed that Celtic are reportedly weighing up a transfer offer for Real Valladolid winger Raul Moro, with Dutch giants Ajax also in the mix for his signature.
