# Two-year deal lined up as Celtic prepare for January move

**Though Celtic don’t have a game for until late January now, you’ll often find the fans in the Transfer Tavern celebrating the nature of their champagne campaign under the stewardship of Brendan Rodgers.**

While often joked about by the Liverpool supporters propping up the bar towards the end of his Anfield reign, the Northern Irishman has completely revitalised a Bhoys side who had previously looked to be merely going through the motions.

He’s constructing an exciting rebuild at Parkhead and seems to be bringing through a vibrant new side, with previous stalwarts being cast aside. One of those in particular is Efe Ambrose, who has been a popular player in green and white over the years.

Still, there’s a feeling the Nigerian is simply more hassle than he’s worth amongst our punters following a series of mistakes, so there’s little surprise for them to read reports from [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/10726615/celtic-defender-efe-ambrose-offered-two-year-deal-by-bastia-sky-sources).

They’ve [claimed](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/10726615/celtic-defender-efe-ambrose-offered-two-year-deal-by-bastia-sky-sources) French side Bastia have offered the 28-year-old a move away from Glasgow after he fell down the pecking order, having not played since July. *I Turchini* are [understood](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/10726615/celtic-defender-efe-ambrose-offered-two-year-deal-by-bastia-sky-sources) to be keen on luring him over to Ligue 1 as they battle relegation from France’s top tier.

Ambrose is also [thought](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/10726615/celtic-defender-efe-ambrose-offered-two-year-deal-by-bastia-sky-sources) to have had offers from China and is [widely expected](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/10726615/celtic-defender-efe-ambrose-offered-two-year-deal-by-bastia-sky-sources) to leave Celtic this month, much to the delight of some of the fans in the bar today.
