NEIL Lennon summed up Celtic’s summer transfer activity as ‘very good’ following the closure of the window on Monday night, and the Hoops manager said he was beginning to see the new arrivals make their mark.

Transfer deadline day saw the Scottish champions add a further three players to the squad with Greg Taylor arriving from Kilmarnock on a four-year deal before young players Lee O’Connor and Jeremie Frimpong agreed permanent deals from Manchester United and Manchester City respectively.

Those deals sealed the activity that also saw defender Moritz Bauer and forward, Mohamed Elyounoussi arrive prior to the weekend.

The business on the final day rounded off a busy summer of transfer activity for Celtic with 11 players in total joining the squad.

Neil Lennon was pleased with the moves as he spoke to the media at Celtic Park after receiving the Manager of the Month Award for August.

“It’s been a very good window,” said the Irishman. “I’m very pleased to get Mo in, it gives us another attacking option. Greg coming in was prolonged but the deal got down in the end and he’s delighted to be here.

“The two young lads, Lee and Jeremy, are ones for the future, or with the talent they have they could make an impact this season.

“When you see the calibre of players that left in the summer, Kieran, Mikael and Dedryck, we had to bolster the defence and we’re seeing the fruits of that now with the performances from Christopher, Boli and Hatem. Moritz has come in later so he’ll embed himself in and hopefully be a good addition. Overall we’re very pleased with the business we’ve done.”

Taylor was ecstatic to sign for Celtic, but the 21-year-old had little time to settle in as he joined up with the Scotland squad ahead of this week’s international double-header.

“Greg’s the icing on the cake I’m very pleased to get a very consistent player at this level,” said Neil Lennon. “He’s already an internationalist and I'm looking forward to him developing into an even better player than he already is.

“He’s not missed any football, he’s away for Scotland and will hopefully play with his country and that’s always a great privilege for any player. You could see how much it meant for him to sign. Now he’s away with his former manager so there’s a familiarity there for him as well.

“I think these are heady times for him and he’s very excited about what lies in store. In terms of what he’s already achieved here, over the last couple of seasons he’s been one of the most consistent players in the country and we’re delighted to get him on board.”
