compete for a spot under Brendan Rodgers this summer after spending the previous season on loan at Fleetwood Town.

The team has been aggressive in clearing players out; Benjamin Siegrist, Rocco Vata, Oh, and Sead Haksabanovic have all left.Brendan Rodgers is eager to let go of some players, including Yuki Kobayashi and Gustaf Lagerbielke, who he believes are surplus to needs.
Celtic and Norwich are nearing an agreement to recruit Adam Idah. The player is scheduled to go to Glasgow for a medical examination and to finalize personal details, and the clubs have agreed to a fee of £8.5m.In an attempt to entice Adam Idah back to Parkhead, Celtic has launched a sensational proposal of up to £9.5 million.
The Hoops have been working hard to sign the standout loan player from last season, and they are still pursuing Liverpool defender Owen Beck. And after a weekend of negotiations, they were able to come to an arrangement with Norwich to make the hitman one of the club’s most costly acquisitions ever. According to Record Sport, Celtic will pay roughly £8.5 million up front for their player, plus an additional £1 million in add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause.The Republic of Ireland star’s heart is set on a return following his successful stint in Glasgow in the second part of the previous season, and he is scheduled to go to Scotland on Tuesday for a medical examination before to finalizing his dream move. The 23-year-old’s cost surpasses the £7 million paid for Christopher Jullien the following year, but it is still just short of the £9 million paid for Odsonne Edouard in 2018.Celts made their move after earning a cool £3 million for Stoke’s youth product Bosun Lawal. They had previously earned about £4 million from the sales of Sead Haksabanovic and Oh Hyeon-gyu. Following his impressive loan stint at Fleetwood Town the previous season, Lawal inked a four-year contract with the Championship team.
Regarding Beck, the Scottish champions have had preliminary discussions but have not yet been able to reach a consensus on a price for a player they attempted to sign in January for a loan. Celtic’s top choice at left back to challenge Greg Taylor is the 22-year-old, who Liverpool wants for about £3 million plus other add-ons.
The Wales international has a host of loan options in the English Championship with Middlesbrough, Leeds and QPR are all interested. Beck grabbed the headlines with a brilliant loan at Dundee in the first half of last season but was recalled by Jurgen Klopp in January before Celtic made their move.
The Hoops were scuppered when he made his Premier League debut as a sub against Bournemouth meaning Beck couldn’t play for a third team in a season. He ended up returning to Dundee on loan but his second spell was curtailed by injury.Brendan Rodgers is eager to add a center defender and a left back. Burnley’s Irish defender Dara O’Shea had been questioned by Celtic, but it seems less and less likely now that Brentford and other Premier League teams are showing interest in him.
