FORMER goal hero Chris Sutton has slammed Celtic for their last-day performance in the summer transfer window.
When the 11pm deadline passed last night, the champions had only ONE signing to show for their efforts – £5.2million Tunisian international winger Sebastian Tounekti from Swedish side Hammarby, as CQN reported.
Adam Idah completed his £7million switch to Swansea to leave Brendan Rodgers without experienced back-up to Daizen Maeda as main striker.
GOING AND STAYING…Adam Idah sealed his £7million deal at Swansea City while Yang Hyun-jun (below) saw a move to Birmingham City fall through.
The Parkhead men saw hopes of signing Anderlecht frontman Kasper Dolberg and Chelsea’s David Datro Fofano scuppered after late activity elsewhere.
The Hoops are now in further talks with one-time £20million man Kelechi Iheanacho in an effort to get him signed before before this evening’s UEFA 11pm cut-off for players who can feature in the Europa League.
Sutton, an ex-£6million purchase from the Stamford Bridge club by Martin O’Neill in the summer of 2000, has launched an attack on the Hoops’ “remarkable” completion of the transfer window.
The one-time England international hitman, posting on X, said: “The most remarkable window of all time.
“Celtic have come out of it weaker.
“At least Celtic are doing everything they can for there to be a title race this season.
“Going into a season with great expectation and excitement after a few weeks, the feeling now is utter deflation.”
South Korean winger Yang Hyun-jun’s anticipated move to Birmingham City fell through because of the club’s lack of recruits.
