Brendan Rodgers is looking to ramp up the Scottish champions spending before the end of the window.
Celtic are set to snap up Luis Palma after the attacker snubbed a mega money move to Saudi Arabia in favour of a switch to Scotland.
Brendan Rodgers is assessing several defensive options – with Southampton’s Lyanco among the names put to the Hoops boss with Saints keen to offload the Brazilian. The 26-year-old played 30 times for the St Mary’s side last term but has fallen further down the pecking order with Mason Holgate on the way from Everton. Lyanco looked set for a move to Besiktas earlier in the window but the move collapsed, while clubs in England and the Middle East have also been alerted to his availability.
The free-kick specialist is also believed to be sweet on a move to Celts, despite two big spending Saudi clubs showing interest. Rodgers has remained tight-lipped on the transfer but admitted Palma was a player he was aware of as Celts prepare to ramp up the recruitment drive in the final week of the window.
He said: “I didn’t have any perceived ideas of time, I just know when you are trying to get in players sometimes that takes a little bit of time. There are deals and markets that it is very easy to work in and then there are others where timing is an issue.
