Celtic are reportedly considering a move to sign Chelsea youngster Ola Aina.
The right back, 19, is expected to leave Chelsea in the summer after rejecting a new contract with the Stamford Bridge club due to the lack of a pathway into the Blues first team and the Daily Record report Celtic are ready to swoop.
Mikael Lustig is Celtic’s established first choice right back but is set to enter the final year of his contract.
The Hoops have experienced mixed fortunes with other young defenders signed from the English Premier League in recent seasons.
Jason Denayor, signed on loan from Manchester City impressed for the Hoops but fellow Manchester City youngster Dedryck Boyata is yet to convince the Hoops faithful and Manchester United kids Tyler Blacket and Saidy Janko have failed to hold down a place in the Hoops team.
