Celtic transfer state of play as Palma bid 'seriously considered', Hatate on Ligue 1 radar and Roberts suffers injury blow

Brendan Rodgers is set to ramp up his Celtic recruitment drive but who will be next in the door at Celtic before the window shuts?

Luis Palma is the latest name on fans' lips after reports a £3.5million bid had been launched for the Honduran's services. The forward has started the season strongly with Aris and was subject of intense Rangers links earlier this summer, but he could be wearing Hoops by September 1st if the Premiership champions get a wish they appear to crave.

There could be exit talk too for supporters to wade through over the next week or so. Uncertainty surrounding Reo Hatate's contract talks has sparked fresh talk of other suitors lining up for him while some Parkhead heroes also strap themselves in for what could be a turbulent week of transfer activity. Here are the latest rumours and news surrounding Celtic as the window approaches its endgame stage.

We'll start with some exit chat surrounding the Japanese international. French reports have claimed that two Saudi Arabian sides, Al Ittihad and Al-Ahli, are monitoring his situation. There is also one unnamed Ligue 1 club who have enquired over the midfielder. It's said Celtic would be open to a sale if their financial demands were met but new contract talks seem to show they want him to remain in green and white.

It's the man dominating headlines as his move to Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League goes pear-shaped. Atalanta were linked with bringing him back to Europe in Serie A just weeks after his move to the Tigers from Parkhead.

A new name has now entered the fray. Fenerbahce are, according to reports in Turkey, said to be interested if Jota's exit is fully sanctioned. He hasn't started either of the league games so far this term.
