Transfer silly season is in full effect and the time of adding one plus one and getting three has begun.
Brendan Rodgers is looking to make permanent additions to his Celtic squad ahead of the new season. Adam Idah played a key role in the run to a Premiership and Scottish Cup double, scoring the winner in the final vs Rangers. His loan from Norwich City has now expired.
Midfielder Paulo Bernardo is also wanted by Rodgers, but a deal needs to be secured with parent club Benfica after his temporary terms also ceased at the end of the season.
That would see two reunions for Rodgers but who else could he target in that category? Talk of Kieran Tierney is refusing to go away but the Arsenal star has suffered injury at Euro 2024. Here, we list the Celtic hero and 20 other possible candidates of stars who’ve worked with Rodgers before, and who may be interested in a Hoops switch.

20. Daniel Amartey (Besiktas)
Spent this season at Besiktas. Starts haven't been in fast supply though, so could a loan work for all parties? Would bring midfield physicality. | Getty Images
