Celtic race to sign Sorensen and Van den Berg before deadline

Celtic are scrambling to bolster their squad with late moves for two midfielders as the transfer window slams shut.

What happened. Celtic are targeting late moves for midfielders Oliver Sorensen and Joel van den Berg, plus left-back Niels Nkounkou, before the transfer deadline.

• Sorensen, 24, has played 34 times in Serie A for Parma.
• Van den Berg, 19, is reported to join for an initial £3million fee.
• Celtic have signed only four players this summer, fewer than all other SPFL clubs.

Celtic face pressure to strengthen after Champions League failure and key departures, with the Scottish deadline at 5pm Thursday.
