Celtic assistant John Kennedy says there is ‘a lot of work to be done’ in the transfer window as the club prepare for their title defence
Celtic assistant John Kennedy told Sky Sports News a new goalkeeper is a priority ahead of the new season.
“The club has been working hard on that and some targets have been identified. It’s a key position for us, we know it’s a position we need to get in and we want to do it as soon as we can,” Kennedy told Sky Sports News.
“Hopefully in the coming weeks we can have some news on that.
“There are some challenges with that with the negotiations that will take place. Ultimately we know it’s a key position for us and we want to get the key positions in as soon as we can so we can get to work with them.
“The manager and the guys on the board are working hard on that.”
