Martin O'Neill is prioritising quality over quantity as Celtic prepare to defend their Scottish Premiership title.
The Parkhead side have made two signings this summer - Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh - for reported combined fees of around £15m.
However, talismanic forward Daizen Maeda has left to join Ipswich Town and O'Neill is keen to get high-calibre players through the door sooner rather than later.
Celtic have been linked extensively with Real Oviedo and Egypt winger Haissem Hassan as well as Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur.
"I think we're trying to get some quality into the football club," O'Neill told Sky Sports.
"We've lost Daizen, he was a big, big player for us and so we have to replace him and I think that we're doing our best to do that.
"We will get some more players in, there's no question about that also but yeah, I want quality rather than quantity."
Celtic spent a club record fee to land Hogh from Bodo/Glimt and O'Neill is excited to see what the Denmark forward will bring.
"I think it's great news for us in the football club and I think it's great news for the fans," he said.
"We want to try and improve our goal scoring obviously and I think he's the man to do it.
"I'm hoping that he will get help throughout the whole time and we're not just relying on him. Hopefully the goals will be shared around a little bit but if he is the main man, I hope he comes up."
