Celtic are in talks with Hammarby over winger Sebastian Tounekti.
The wide player is wanted at Parkhead as Brendan Rodgers seeks to strengthen his attack following last night’s miserable Champions League exit.
Tounekti, 23, is a Tunisia international with two caps to his name, but it is in the Allsvenskan where he has shone with three goals and five assists in just 22 appearances so far.
The Hoops are already in advanced talks with Royal Antwerp star Michel-Ange Balikwisha following a long-running transfer saga that looked to have fizzled out before the club finally agreed on a fee.
But Rodgers has always wanted two new wingers to compete with Daizen Maeda and Yang while Jota is sidelined until next year.
Celtic have offered around £2.7million for the playmaker already, we understand, but his Swedish club – second in their division – are holding out for £5m.
Celts are holding more discussions with Hammarby this week as they seek to bolster their squad before Sunday’s summer transfer deadline.
The Scottish Sun reported the interest earlier this afternoon and we at CeltsAreHere can confirm legitimate contact has been made.
Full-back Marcelo Saracchi is on his way to Glasgow from Boca Juniors in a season-long loan deal that is not believed to include a purchase option.
