In-demand Mathias Kvistgaarden has talked up the new Brondby boss as he dropped a hint about his future amid escalating interest from Celtic.

It's been a wild day at Parkhead with Jota's return and Kyogo's exit both announced and that leaves Brendan Rodgers on the hunt for a new striker. The Dane has been heavily linked with a move to the Premiership leaders in recent transfer windows with Parkhead scouts keeping tabs on the frontman this term - but with Kyogo Furuhashi leaving the club for Stade Rennes the Hoops appear to be ready to step up their interest in the 22-year-old. The Denmark U21 international has previously expressed that he feels he is ready to make a move elsewhere in Europe - but he has now heaped praise on his new manager amid chatter over an exit.

With the striker currently in America with his teammates during their mid-season training camp, he talked up the impact Frederik Birk following the departure of Jesper Sorensen to the Vancouver Whitecaps. Following the win over Hvidovre IF, Kvistgaarden hinted that he was looking to adapt to the new style of play.

He told 3 point : "There are still many things to practice, but I think it was really nice to work under the new boss. Of course, I have to to get used to that type of game. It's going to be okay, and I think I can easily get used to it."

Elsewhere, Louie Barry is reported to have undergone a medical at Hull City having chosen to stay in England rather than a move north. Record Sport understands Celtic were in the running for the Aston Villa forward but the Hoops were keen on a permanent switch while Villa preferred a loan closer to home after a stunning first half of the season with Stockport County.

Radio Humberside report he is set to undergo a medical on Monday that would see him join the Championship side on loan. It means Celtic will need to wait until the summer if they still see him as an option.

Kieran Tierney will also look to follow Jota back to Glasgow's east end - and it still looks as sure a thing as you will get. The latest on the situation is that a pre-contract agreement has been all-but rubber-stamped.

The only thing holding up a big announcement is talks with Arsenal over when he'll make the move back. Sky Sports report that the Hoops have approached the Gunners about the "conditions" of a loan deal that would see him spend the rest of his contract at Celtic Park before moving permanently in the summer.
