Chris Sutton thinks Celtic must sign a striker this summer.
The Parkhead club were in the market for a centre-forward in the January transfer window after Kyogo Furuhashi's unexpected exit. Yet, despite Brendan Rodgers' public desire to directly replace the 30-year-old, no new number nine was acquired.
Daizen Maeda has since thrived through the middle, meanwhile, Adam Idah has chipped in with three goals in his last two games.

Regardless of the form of Celtic's attack, though, Sutton reckons bringing in a striker will be one of Rodgers' top priorities over the coming months: "I think, without doubt, Brendan will want to sign a striker," he said [Sky Sports].
"He talked about when the club sold Kyogo, he wanted to bring someone else in.
"I think Brendan is not so sure about him [Idah] being the all-rounder he needs to go to the next level. I think we've seen the evidence of that because in big games, he's been left on the bench.
"I'm not so sure he's kicked on this season as he would have liked to, and as Brendan would have liked to, hence the club will have to bring in a centre-forward over the summer."
It comes after Celtic wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title against Dundee United at Tannadice yesterday.
Nicolas Kuhn and Idah each scored braces as Ryan Strain's own goal sent Rodgers' men on their way to an emphatic 5-0 win.
They now turn their attention to Ibrox next Sunday as they aim to beat their city rivals for the first time in 2025.
