Premiership heavyweights Celtic and Rangers face a busy end to the Scottish transfer window ahead of Friday’s deadline day. Both clubs are in the market to add at least one more midfielder to their ranks before the close of play as they look to gain the edge in this year’s title race.
Reigning champions Celtic have a huge void to fill after Matt O’Riley’s record breaking £25m departure to English side Brighton & Hove Albion. The 23-year-old playmaker recorded 19 goals and 18 assists across all competitions and was a catalyst for a great deal of Celtic’s success last term.
The Hoops will hope to reinvest the money wisely into the team in the coming days and have now set their sights on £4m rated midfielder Alvyn Sanches of Swiss side FC Lausanne-Sport, according to the Daily Record.
The 21-year-old winger has been on Celtic’s radar since January and is believed to be a player that Brendan Rodgers thinks can go right to the top in the near future.
