Last night Celtic exited the Champions League and today’s reports suggest three members of the Celtic squad are heading for the exit door at Parkhead.
It isn’t all outgoings in the east end of Glasgow, however, with the club looking to sign a striker from the English Premier League.
Meanwhile youngsters from Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle are close to securing moves south of the border, while a number of lower league clubs have made signings today.
Here’s a quick look at all of today’s transfer news.
- Celtic are looking to sign striker Aston Villa striker Libor Kozak.
Villa paid Lazio £7million to sign the forward two years ago but he has slipped down the pecking order at Villa Park, with summer signings Rudi Gestede, Jordan Ayew and Adama Traore, as well as Gabriel Agbonlahor and Scott Sinclair all keeping him out the team.
Villa boss Tim Sherwood is hoping to also sign Roma forward Adem Ljajic and is willing to let Kozak leave in a cut price deal. (Daily Express).
