Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Jakob Breum are the two wide men believed to be on Celtic\u2019s radar, though both deals have hit obstacles in recent days. Talks for Balikwisha have reportedly stalled, with Royal Antwerp holding firm on their valuation<\/a>, while Go Ahead Eagles have yet to lower their \u00a36 million asking price for Breum.<\/a><\/p>\n Up front, Celtic are still trying to find a proper replacement for Kyogo<\/a> Furuhashi, who left for Rennes in January. Adam Idah continues to live up to Kyogo<\/a>\u2019s high standards, but Brendan Rodgers<\/a> has made it clear he wants more firepower before the window closes.<\/p>\n On the left-hand side of defence, a replacement or backup option is being sought after the early season absence of Kieran Tierney<\/a> raised fitness concerns.<\/p>\n However, the situation may become more pressing at right-back, with Alistair Johnston now awaiting scan results after being stretchered off during the 0-0 draw with Kairat Almaty.<\/p>\n Johnston\u2019s injury could force the club into the market for a fifth signing if the damage proves significant.<\/p>\n With fans growing restless over the lack of movement and European qualification hanging in the balance, the pressure is now on the Celtic board to back the manager before the window closes.<\/p>\n Plenty of work remains behind the scenes at Lennoxtown, and the coming days could define not only the squad\u2019s shape, but the direction of the season ahead.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-20T195105Z_65680559_UP1EL8K1J53GF_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-CHAMPIONS-CEL-KAI-scaled.jpg\")
