THE early 2020/21 transfer window wound down to a close last week on Monday, October 5 and, at the close of business, Hoops supporters around the world looked back on no fewer than six deals that delivered flair, skill, and tactical options all over the pitch.
From the six deals, three are permanent moves and one of the three season-long loan deals includes one who extended his stay after tasting success with the Hoops last term as the club wrapped up nine-in-a-row.
The returning Celt is striker, Mohamed Elyounoussi who has increased his loan spell from Southampton and he has been joined by five completely new faces in Vasilis Barkas, Albian Ajeti, David Turnbull, Shane Duffy and last but not least, Diego Laxalt.
A Norwegian, a Greek, a Swiss, a Scot, an Irishman and an Uruguayan have joined the international Celtic Park mix as the Hoops meet the 10-in-a-row challenge head-on and all of the new Bhoys except for Laxalt who was last through the door just prior to the international break, have now made their Celtic debuts.
If the start of the season is anything to go by, then this transfer window is already a success and will prove to be a fantastic piece of business by the club in pinpointing, accessing, and delivering talent from all over the world.
Over the following six pages we look at each new individual acquisition for the club as we say: “Welcome to the greatest club in the world Bhoys!”
