According to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph, Celtic’s is said to be among several European clubs expressing interest in Egypt’s international player, Mohamed Reda.

Currently showcasing his skills at Future FC, this dynamic 22-year-old central midfielder also displays versatility, with the ability to play further forward.

The Hoops are said to be monitoring the Egyptian talent at the moment with no firm bid on the table.

If Celtic are still in the markets for central midfielders, it would suggest they’re hedging their bets incase another central midfielder leaves this summer.

The team is currently in Japan for their pre-season fixtures, with a match against Yokohama set for 11am UK time on Wednesday morning.

The spotlight on potential player movement and transfer activity will only intensify with the new SPFL season just around the corner, set to kick-off in less than three weeks.

Reda’s potential move to Celtic will likely come down to who stays or more importantly, who goes.
