Neil Lennon wants two January signings

Neil Lennon wants to sign a centre-half and a centre-forward during the January transfer window.

Despite seeing his side turn a 15 point deficit into a 2 point lead over Rangers the hoops boss wants to strengthen his side next month.

Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes has been linked with Celtic as well as Baba Diawara of Maritimo with both players rated in the £3m region.

“I think that it’s always important to be adding players,” Lennon told Sky Sports after last night’s win over Rangers.

“We’ve been looking for a centre half and a centre forward, something to give us a little bit different, particularly in games away from home. We will do what’s best for the club.”

Last January Lennon signed Kris Commons for £400,000 from Derby County but was unable to secure a deal with Nottingham Forest to secure Kelvin Wilson.

Swedish international full-back Mikael Lustig will officially join Celtic on Sunday, January 1 with Lennon looking for further new faces to strengthen his title hopes.
