“Celtic Urged to Prioritize Experienced Strikers in Transfer Window, Highlighting Concerns Over Squad Depth During Asian Cup Absences”

Brendan Rodgers has received a directive to prioritize experienced players during the current transfer window. The Celtic manager, who has consistently sought increased quality in the team’s performance throughout the first half of the season, now has a month to address this concern. While the extent of support from the Premiership champions remains uncertain, former Celtic captain Paul Lambert suggests that Rodgers may focus on reinforcing the striker position.

With Yang, Oh, and Daizen Maeda occupied with Asian Cup duties, there is a shortage of backup for Kyogo up front. Lambert emphasizes the importance of acquiring players who can make an immediate impact, particularly in response to criticism that the club previously signed too many players perceived as long-term projects by the fans. Lambert states that securing a striker could be crucial, given Celtic’s reliance on Kyogo for goals. He acknowledges the potential impact of the Asian Cup on the squad and suggests that Rodgers, being aware of the team’s needs, may opt for players who can contribute immediately, considering the significant stature of the club.
