Celtic Can Sign Uruguayan International Striker as Free Agent

Celtic's efforts to replace star striker Kyogo Furuhashi came to a standstill as the transfer window is closed now. The Japanese forward, who left for Ligue 1 side Rennes last month, had been the starting centre-forward for three and a half seasons. Two new players were added by the Scottish champions during the transfer window. Jeffrey Schlupp joined late on loan from Crystal Palace till the end of the season. Jota returned to Celtic 18 months after departing and has made a bright start with a goal and an assist in two games. Adam Idah is now Celtic's only established striker, with Johnny Kenny, who just returned from a loan stint with Shamrock Rovers, serving as his backup. Daizen Maeda can also play up front, but he is suspended for the first leg of the Champions League playoff against Bayern Munich next week. While the transfer window is now closed, signing free agents is still very much an option for Brendan Rodgers. And there might be some decent striker still available as short-term solutions for Celt
