Celtic are on the trail of Manchester City's young midfielder Olivier Ntcham.
The 21-year-old Frenchman – capped at various youth levels up to Under-21 – has spent the last two seasons on loan with Genoa.
The Italian club have not taken up an option to buy, alerting Celtic to the availability of a player noted for his powerful running and long-range shooting. Torino are also thought to be keen to take the player back to Serie A.
Brendan Rodgers is keen to make a fresh addition to his midfield armoury and had been linked with a move for Chelsea prospect Charly Musonda.
