The Celtic Football Club has been active in the transfer market, with several new signings and loan moves announced. The club confirmed three loan deals including goalkeeper Sam Johnstone from Wolves, left-back Landon Emenalo, and striker Shim Mheuka from Chelsea. Johnstone and Mheuka were listed as substitutes during the match against Aberdeen.
Joel van den Berg arrived at Celtic’s training ground in Lennoxtown and was seen walking inside on the team bus, according to glasgowtimes.co.uk. The 19-year-old midfielder is expected to join from PSV Eindhoven despite his signing not yet being officially confirmed. Van den Berg was present at the stadium for Celtic’s game against Aberdeen but did not appear in the squad list. He was photographed entering the facility and appeared to be part of the team’s preparations. Although his official signing has not taken place, the club is believed to have completed a medical examination with him.
Celtic may have made their final move of the transfer window with the potential deal for van den Berg. However, the club continues to pursue a signing from Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis.
The Glasgow club’s activity shows continued interest in strengthening their squad before the season ends. Celtic has also been working to maintain its presence in the news and fan engagement through various digital platforms, according to a report from el-balad.com. One page titled Transfer Deadline Day Panic? was noted as promoting sign-ups rather than reporting actual transfer details. This page is not a reliable source for updates on Celtic’s signings or match results.
The club continues to focus on both immediate squad needs and longer-term development through loan arrangements. Celtic’s recent actions reflect an effort to build depth across multiple positions in the team.
The club’s training environment and facilities were highlighted as large and well-organized during a recent visit, the BBC reported. This sense of scale was evident even in a single day’s visit to the grounds.
