REPORTS in France claim Celtic are interested in taking Manchester City frontman Thierry Ambrose to the club on a season-long loan.

The striker was on-loan to NAC Breda last term and can play up front or on the right hand side as part of a front three.

However, it seems that someone has either jumped the gun or are blatantly trying to whip up interest in the player by linking him with the Scottish Champions.

At this point, there seems to be no contact between the clubs over any deal for Ambrose and it looks more likely the player’s agent might be up to a bit of mischief.

Celtic have just signed Odsonne Edouard on a permanent deal so there is no way the club is looking for another striker at present and the plethora of attacking midfielders would make it even more crowded if Rodgers chose that route.
