Celtic sign five players in one day, adding Van den Berg and Lotomba

Celtic completed a busy transfer day by signing five players, all of whom will join the squad on loan for the remainder of the season. The deals were signed in quick succession, with the club taking advantage of the transfer window to strengthen key areas.

Former England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone arrived on loan from his parent club, bringing experience between the posts. Johnstone had previously played for Celtic and is expected to provide competition for the first‑team goalkeeping position.

The club also secured two teenage prospects from Chelsea: Shumaira Mheuka and Landon Emenalo. Both players joined on loan, with the club hoping their youth and potential will add depth to the midfield and attack.

In addition, Celtic added Dutch defender Van den Berg and midfielder Lotomba, who arrived earlier in the window. Their inclusion is part of the club's strategy to bolster the squad across multiple positions.

With the new signings in place, Celtic will look to integrate the players ahead of the upcoming fixtures, aiming to maintain performance levels across the league, cup and European competitions. The club's management will monitor the progress of the loanees as the season progresses.
