Rodgers made his third signing of the January transfer window with the arrival of Vakoun Issouf Bayo, who has joined Celtic on a fouryear deal from Slovakian side Dunajska Streda.

The 21-year-old Ivory Coast striker has scored 18 goals in 23 games so far this season and the Celtic manager was happy with this piece of business.

Rodgers said: “He’s a good signing and it’s another forward player for us, which increases our options on the front-line for the second part of the season.

“He’s a young player who has scored goals. He’s broken into the Ivory Coast national team. He’s a player we can develop. I’m looking forward to working with him.

“We’re a team that plays an aggressive and attacking game, and I felt that was an area we were short terms of our options.

“Bringing Oliver and Timothy [Weah] in will strengthen in central and wide areas, and bringing Vakoun in as well gives us a physicality, as well as a presence and speed.

“This allows us more options in terms of the systems that we play. The style will always be the same, but it increases the way in which we can play.” in, in
