Celtic has made three major signings on loan ahead of the second half of the season. Junior Adamu, a 24-year-old Austrian striker, joins from Bundesliga club Freiburg, where he has scored seven goals in 67 appearances. Celtic have an option to buy him in the summer.
Benjamin Arthur, a 22-year-old England youth international, also joins on loan from Premier League outfit Brentford. The centre-half has made just three appearances for the Bees, but Celtic boss Martin O'Neill believes he is "an excellent player" with "real attributes".
Lastly, Joel Mvuka, a 20-year-old Norwegian winger, signs on loan from Lorient in France. Despite having played against Celtic before, in the Conference League in 2022, this will be his first spell at the club.
Adamu, who has nine caps for Austria, is looking to make an impact and help Celtic win the league and Scottish Cup double. Arthur's arrival allows Stephen Welsh to return to Motherwell on loan after being recalled during January.

! Adamu's a beast up front, scored 7 goals in 67 appearances for Freiburg 
. And Arthur's gotta be legit if Martin O'Neill thinks he's an "excellent player" 
. I'm hyped to see how they all mesh together on the pitch. Welsh getting sent out on loan is a bummer tho... but at least we get some fresh talent coming in 
! Think Celtic can bring home that league and Scottish Cup double? 
It feels like there's always a 30-minute delay between when a player joins and when it shows up on our feeds. And can we talk about how many of these loan deals are basically just one-way streets? Like, what's the point if Celtic don't have an option to buy them at the end of the season? 
Anyway, I guess it's good that Adamu is looking to make a statement with his goals... fingers crossed he does better than our current striker! 
. Overall, these signings suggest that O'Neill is committed to achieving Celtic's dual objectives, namely winning both the league title and Scottish Cup 
! adamu da austria striker is lookin fierce with 7 goals in 67 appearances 4 freiburg - what a gem! & benjamin arthur, england youth int'l, seems like a solid recruit too, martin o'neill knows his stuff 
!
️ I think these signings are gonna be game-changers for Celtic! They're bringing in some serious talent to boost their chances of winning that double. 
, I can already imagine him scoring for the Hoops in the Scottish Cup final! And Arthur's got some serious skills too 
. But seriously, these additions are gonna give them a boost for the rest of the season 
. Bring on the Scottish Cup double 
!
It's like they think the Scottish Cup is up for grabs or something... 
I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible, but there's gotta be more to this than meets the eye. Maybe Martin O'Neill has some hidden agenda, like using these loan signings to scout out potential future buys or something? 
And what about Brentford? Why did they let Arthur go on loan in the first place? Was it a ploy to get Celtic interested and now he's just gonna help them win the league and then...? 
And Benjamin Arthur looks like a solid addition too, Martin O'Neill knows what he's talking about, this lad's gotta be good if the gaffer says so. 
As for Joel Mvuka, I'm curious to see how he does out there on the wing, playing against Celtic before and all that. Maybe he'll finally get his chance to shine. 
Let's hope these signings help Celtic bring home that league and Scottish Cup double! 
so what makes martin o'Neill think benjamin arthur is that good if he only played 3 games for brentford? i mean, stats dont lie but you cant just take someone at face value, right? 
, but seriously how many teams can afford to keep sending out loans every few months? freiburg must hate freiburg's life right now 
. anyway, celtic's been doing alright without these guys, so we'll see how this one plays out 
I think Celtic's got a real shot at that league and Scottish Cup double this season... let's do this! 
They're gonna boost their squad for sure! Adamu seems like a solid pick, scoring 7 goals in 67 games - that's not bad at all! 
. Mvuka's a young gun, but Lorient couldn't keep him out, so I think he'll bring some fire to Celtic too 
. This double push for the league and cup is looking more achievable by the day 
. And Mvuka's a wild card - Lorient wasn't exactly the biggest club in France 
. And Arthur, yeah, that lad looks promising, but O'Neill saying he's "an excellent player" is a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion... still, gotta admit, it's nice to see some new faces at Celtic 
!
. Celtic always seem to find ways to mess things up 
. Celtic will probably spend a fortune on someone who'll leave them after six months 
!
