Celtic are interested in Reims midfielder Mory Gbane
Celtic are interested in bringing Reims midfielder Mory Gbane to the Scottish Premiership, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.
Celtic have signed Colombian striker Camilo Duran, and want to bring a midfielder to the club.
The Bhoys are keen on Gbane but will face competition from West Ham United and Trabzonspor.
The Ligue 2 club are open to selling the 6ft 2in Ivory Coast international if a substantial offer comes their way, and Celtic will be monitoring his situation.
The 25-year-old impressed last season, bagging three goals in 30 appearances across all competitions.
He has established himself as a key player in Reims, and a move to Celtic could appeal to him.
The Bhoys are playing in the Champions League next season, and the Ivorian will be keen to feature at that level.
Gbane's major strength is winning back possession, and Celtic need his presence in the middle of the park.
He also has excellent technical ability and is adept at distributing forward passes.
Celtic need a major squad upgrade to challenge in Europe next season.
Gbane's versatility will come in handy as he can play as a centre-back. He is strong in the air and can be a threat in the opposition's box during set-pieces.
