A rough ready reckoner: we are looking for cover in both fullback positions. Cameron Carter-Vickers was the only central defender not dropped last season, so there is one space there available (and that’s if CCV stays). We have yet to replace Kyogo and I could make a case for one more central midfielder, but the first area Celtic’s attention has been drawn to is the wings.
Jota is out until the end of the year, Nicolas Kuhn is attracting attention back in Germany, while Daizen Maeda has not agreed the new contract offered to him in March. While all of these players remain under contract, Celtic have suffered in Champions League qualifiers before with players who are ‘not in the right frame of mind’ to get the job done.
I suspect that if Swedish international Benjamin Nygren signs, he will not be the last winger we’ll look at this summer.

Rest in Peace John Clark
Hail Hail
Only Willie, Bobby, Jim and John left now.
Was Leigh Griffiths the last dead ball specialist we had?
In difficult games and in elite competition, the ability to place a free kick or corner onto the very spot intended is a game winner.
We’ve been missing a trick for quite some time.
R.I.P. John Clark.
Sad, sad news. What a player.
Rest In Peace John Clark

Can’t we sign players for different positions, simultaneously 🤔. I’ve read some comments that Nygren isn’t really a winger.
