"Celtic are looking to improve their attacking unit in the January transfer window and have identified Leeds United forward Joel Piroe as a target. Apparently, Celtic have already held talks with the Premier League club regarding a move for the Striker, but the Premier League side is uninterested in letting the player join Celtic, as per Anthony Joseph from Sky Sports."
"The ownership situation has complicated any potential move to Celtic. Otherwise, it could have been the ideal move for the Leeds United striker. He could have played regularly in Scotland, and Celtic would have helped him regain his form and confidence. Meanwhile, Leeds United are fighting for survival in the Premier League. They have done well in recent weeks. They have made themselves hard to beat."
"However, they need to improve their attack if they want to pick up more points. It will be interesting to see if they can plug the gaps in their team during the January window. Signing a quality striker could make a big difference for them in the final third. They have been linked with players like Jorgen Strand Larsen in recent days."
Celtic aim to strengthen their attack in the January transfer window and have targeted Leeds United forward Joel Piroe. Leeds have received approaches but are reluctant to sell to Celtic because ownership links between the 49ers and Rangers create a rivalry-based obstacle. Piroe is not a regular starter at Leeds and seeks a move to secure more playing time. A move to Celtic could have provided regular minutes and a chance to regain form, but ownership complications obstruct that option. Leeds are battling for Premier League survival and continue to seek attacking reinforcements, with other names linked.
