Celtic in pole position to sign attacker, while Italian star also linked

Celtic are closing in on a deal for Aberdeen attacker Jonny Hayes and Sunderland’s Fabio Borini remains a target for Brendan Rodgers, according to Chronicle Live.

The Bhoys went through the 2016-17 campaign unbeaten domestically, recording a momentous treble in the process.

However, the focus this summer will be to improve the Celtic squad in an attempt to make more of an impression in the Champions League next season.

Hayes has had an excellent campaign for second-place Aberdeen and as such is not short of suitors.

The report suggests that Celtic are set to win the race for the Republic of Ireland international however, beating some Championship sides to the 29-year-old’s signature.
