Celtic transfer state of play on Jota, Jeahze, Carter Vickers and Matondo

It looks set to be another busy summer at Celtic as the club gear up for the Champions League.

Ange Postecoglou has shown he has an eye for talent with his moves in the transfer market proving key in bringing the Scottish Premiership to Celtic Park.

The Australian will need to replicate those savvy deals with the club looking to make their mark on the group stage and rub shoulders with the European elite.

With plenty of depth in the squad as it stands there should be less work going on behind the scenes with the title-winning side needing fine tuning for their Champions League return.

Questions also remain over two loanees with Celtic in talks with both Tottenham and Benfica over permanent deals for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota.

Swedish outlet Expressen report that the club are preparing for a bid and are already looking at replacements for the Iraq international.

Hannover’s Niklas Hult is reportedly the successor to the full-back at the Swedish side if a move to the Scottish Premiership materialises.

Jota

The future of Portuguese winger remains up in the air as supporters wait to see if he will commit to making his loan from Benfica a permanent move.

Celtic have a £6million option to buy, which they are ready to activate, but the final decision will ultimately rest with the player.

Portuguese outlet Record claim that Benfica expect the player to sign off on the deal to seal a transfer to Celtic Park.

Cameron Carter Vickers

Record Sport revealed last month that Celtic are in the box seat but a host of English Premier League interest remains.

Fans are desperate to see the centre-back remain for the Champions League push, and Football London report that the America cap will definitely leave Tottenham this summer.

Spurs reportedly are holding out for a £6million fee with £4million in potential add ons with other suitors monitoring the situation.

Japhet Matondo

Celtic are reportedly facing competition to land Cardiff City prospect Japhet Matondo.

The 16-year-old is reportedly being tracked by Parkhead scouts as they keep tabs on his progress, but Rangers and Leeds United are keen on the youngster.

The winger can play on both flanks and has caught the eye for the Cardiff under-23 side and for Wales at under-17 level.
