Brendan Rodgers says Celtic will review the transportation strategy after failing to bring an alternative to striker Kyojo Furuhashi.
Hoops coach explained that he wants to take over a person from the Japanese striker who left the Ligue 1 Rennes team last month for 10 million pounds after achieving 85 goals for the hoops after his arrival in the summer of 2021.
The wing Jota returned to Celtic after 18 months of his departure, and Jeffrey Shloj fell late on loan from Crystal Palace until the end of the season, but when the winter window closed Monday evening, there was no new leading striker.

Celtic is now left with Adam Aida only as the only first place in books with 21 -year -old Johnny Kenny, who recently returned from a talisman with Shamrok Rovers, as a backup. Daizen Maeda can also play in the middle, although he was suspended in the first stage of the Champions League against Bayern Munich next week.
Speaking before the Premier League match arrangement season.
He said: “It is something that I clearly said we want to do, we wanted to get this support at the upper end of the field. We could not do so.

“I don't want to blame anyone here. I think he is collectively, it was not perfect, how it ended for us.
“So we, as a club, go now and look at that as we do each window.
“There was not much when you look around, but certainly all I was worried about is Celtic and what I need to happen here. So we will look at it and move forward.
“There are many different aspects of transportation, it is clear that determining the player, then convincing the player who comes, and who, mainly, is not a problem here.
“But we were not fully able to accomplish a deal, this is something we are as a club, we will review the entire process and then look forward to being better again in the summer.

“There is no doubt that the team is lighter.
“But I will work hard. We will focus on these next four months, which is a truly exciting period for us, and we will have a more strict team, but also a team that improves development.
“I think there is still an improvement in the team, but it will be more tight than before.
Rodgers realizes the frustrations of Celtic fans who believe that Kyojo should not be allowed to leave before it is an alternative.
The northern Irish said: “Some people will say that, but you do not have the depth of knowledge that I have on the player and work with him, and return to the summer.
“It is fair to say, you can easily say,” Well, you must have someone in the door before you let it go. “

“But there was a position with this player, which means that this was not, and this was something that we used to nominate for several months, not just for the few days and before leaving it.
“I repeat, if the player does not want to be here, we will do the best deal and advance.
“I think we really brought some good players.
“Can we do better? Yes, we can.
“However, we are working with players here now. I think this is the focus. I don't really want to look back.
“I will not feel frustrated now and kill my joy to work here every day in the club by thinking about what could be.
“We cannot influence this now. We can review it and move forward.”
