Speaking after Saturday’s 6-2 hammering from West Ham, Postecoglou admitted he needed more new players.
Right-back is the priority, with a move for Royal Antwerp’s Portuguese Aurelio Buta taking shape after Sheffield United proved difficult to deal with over George Baldock.
Postecoglou also wants a holding midfielder, another centre-back and another winger, with Croatian club Gorica having placed a £4.2m price-tag on the head of target Kristijan Lovric.
Celtic have lodged an enquiry for the winger, but reports in Croatia claim there is competition from Hellas Verona for the 25-year-old.
Gorica have told suitors they are prepared to listen to offers of €5million (£4.2m)
