Celtic set for 'ten ins & outs' in busy transfer deadline week

Celtic are set for a busy final week of the transfer window, according to a report.

Luis Palma is poised to join the Hoops this week and could even be announced as early as today.

The Aris winger is due to arrive in Glasgow after a £3.5million deal was agreed between the clubs. The 23-year-old is expected to join on a long-term contract and could even be thrown in at the deep end against Rangers on Sunday.

He is seen as the replacement for Jota, who was of course sold to the Middle East for £25m earlier this summer.

The Scottish Sun says Palma could be one of five new signings at Parkhead in the coming days ahead of Friday's deadline day.

Brendan Rodgers is also looking to add a centre-back to his ranks due to the number of injuries in that department within the club. 

Currently, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki, and Stephen Welsh are all ruled out for at least two months.

The report states that the Celtic boss is also chasing a left-back, while support for Kyogo is high on the wishlist too.

While there could be a decent amount of incoming, several finger players are also expected to leave in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Hyunjun Yang has played down the importance of this weekend's derby against Rangers. 

"I think it's just a normal league match,” Yang said. “I will train ahead of the match as usual.

"I was just told there will be no Celtic fans in the stadium and it will be a tough game, but I will work hard ahead of it.

"I definitely think there are no times that are always good and when something bad comes, there is also good coming too. So I am looking forward to this week.”
