The final day of the January transfer window is well-known for its hectic pace and last-minute transactions, as teams strive to build formidable squads for the latter part of the season. Given the current market dynamics and the considerations of financial fair play, it becomes crucial for teams to adopt a strategic approach when selling players. At Celtic, there may be some player departures as they aim to secure funds for a possible significant signing in the closing hours of the transfer window
David Turnbull is reportedly among the players facing a potential exit from Celtic Park, with sources from BBC Sport indicating that Cardiff City is nearing a £2 million deal for the 24-year-old. Turnbull’s contract is set to expire in the summer.
Winger Mikey Johnston, who has seen limited first-team action in recent years, is also on the verge of a loan move to the Championship. West Brom is leading the race for the 24-year-old, who has played only nine league matches this season, scoring two goals. Johnston spent the entire previous season on loan at Portuguese club Vitória S.C.
Since leaving Ibrox, Ryan Kent has faced challenges in maintaining both form and confidence. His time at Fenerbahçe has been marked by limited opportunities, featuring in only seven league matches, six of which saw him coming off the bench. The 27-year-old finds himself excluded from the first-team setup in Istanbul and is eager to secure a new club to rejuvenate his career. While there were earlier links to Dinamo Zagreb and Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq, it is now anticipated that Kent will make a late transfer to the prestigious European club Lazio, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
