# Brendan Rodgers wants £10m former player to join his Celtic revolution

**It’s fair to say that Celtic fans here in The Transfer Tavern have been celebrating wildly round the bar this season after a wonderful unbeaten domestic campaign and a treble of trophies.**

Now they’re looking for an even better season after the summer and if that’s to happen then they still need improvement on one front – Europe.

For as good as they were domestically this season, they still found themselves lacking in the UEFA Champions League, finishing bottom of their group and failing to pick up a single win.

The signs of greatness are there. Draws with Manchester City and a result in Germany Borussia Monchengladbach point to a team that can be competitive in the group stages.

Brendan Rodgers will need some key first team signings and it appears that defence will be one of his priorities.

[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3767475/liverpool-defender-joe-gomez-being-tracked-by-premier-league-new-boys-brighton/) report that the former Liverpool boss is looking to return to his old club and snap up Joe Gomez, a young defender who has a bright future ahead of him.

However, they face stiff competition with the likes of Bournemouth ready to challenge for his signature, willing to pay £10m for his services says [the report](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3767475/liverpool-defender-joe-gomez-being-tracked-by-premier-league-new-boys-brighton/).

Celtic would likely be unable to compete with that sort of transfer fee but can they convince the Reds to send him to Glasgow for the season on loan?

**Celtic fans – what do you think? Is Gomez the kind of talent you’d like to see at Celtic Park or should Brendan Rodgers look elsewhere?**
