There's been no shortage of transfer activity at Celtic Park but the feeling could hardly be more different to last year. Where in summer 2021, Ange Postecoglou was tasked with overhauling a beleaguered squad set to lose a raft of its biggest names, this season he has the comparatively simple task of adding to a title-winning squad.
The Celtic boss has already secured permanent deals for Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers, as well as adding Alexandro Bernabei and Benjamin Siegrist to his ranks. But with the Champions League group stage on the horizon, Postecoglou wants and needs more.
Aaron Mooy looks set to join as a free agent and Lorient defender Moritz Jenz has emerged as a target over the past 24 hours. The policy thus far of adding depth in key areas is consistent with the manager's declaration after the weekend friendly draw with Blackburn Rovers. If Celtic are to compete on all fronts, including Europe, in the coming season then the key is ensuring quality across the board.
