Celtic will look to bring in a striker, a central midfielder and a left winger in the January transfer window.
It is believed that a centre-forward is the number one priority for Brendan Rodgers as he is set to lose Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu for the Asian Cup in the new year.
Sources also told Football Insider that the boss is eager to add goals to the engine room with a prolific central midfield addition.

Celtic are expected to be relatively active in the winter window and Rodgers is hopeful that signings in these three areas can be brought in to help his thin squad.
A new long-term goalkeeper could also be brought in with current number one Joe Hart’s contract set to expire in the summer, but this is not believed to be a priority this January.
The Hoops reportedly made a profit in the summer despite making seven senior signings including Odin Thiago Holm, Luis Palma and Maik Narwocki but the Hoops are expected to return to the market this winter.
Sources have also told Football Insider (26 December) that Premier League side West Ham are keeping close tabs on star midfielder Matt O’Riley.
However, sources also told Football Insider (27 December) that the Hoops do not want to sell O’Riley in January amid interest from multiple top-flight English clubs.
Celtic remain at the summit of the Scottish top flight after their 3-0 away win against Dundee on Boxing Day and next face rivals Rangers at home on Saturday (30 December).
