Celtic transfer tracker as Gustaf Lagerbielke to lead 3 player exodus while Tiago Araujo arrival 'likely'

Defender Gustaf Lagerbielke faces a quick-fire Celtic exit with the club reportedly willing to "listen to offers" for the summer signing.

The £3million signing from Elfsborg was the hero in the Champions League win over Feyenoord as he nodded in a late winner at Celtic Park but hasn't played for the Scottish Premiership leaders since their 2-1 win over Motherwell on Saturday, September 30. Before his decisive group stage strike, his last minutes in a Hoops' jersey came with a host of B Team and fringe first-teamers in Dundee for Cammy Bell's testimonial.

And it could be time up at Celtic Park already with Brendan Rodgers set to clear out the squad in January - with a focus on his defensive options. The Daily Mail report that Celtic "are prepared to listen to offers" for the 23-year-old and allow Lagerbielke to leave and go in search of regular first-team football this term.

Nat Phillips also looks set to return to Liverpool when his loan expires, while Yuki Kobayashi will also be allowed to leave to ramp up his game time. It means Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh look set to battle it out with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales for a starting spot at the heart of the defence.

The Scottish champions are also looking to recruit stars with Tiago Arajuo a "likely" arrival from Estoril. Mathias Kvistgaarden is also back on the Parkhead shortlist for January with the club holding an interest in the Brondby forward last summer.
