Celtic have been linked with a move for Husein Balic.

According to Transfermarkt the 23-year-old is a left sided midfielder which seems to be an area of the park that Celtic are well covered in.

Having scouted and signed Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo from Rapid Vienna it can be assumed that Celtic are looking at players in Austria with the Daily Mail having a decent track record on Celtic transfer business.

Earlier in the transfer window Celtic pulled the plug on a move for Motherwell’s David Turnbull after a knee problem showed up during his medical.

There has been reports of interest from France in Olivier Ntcham and in Tom Rogic from Russia but it appears that no bids have been made.

Despite the signings of Christopher Jullien and Bolingoli-Mbombo it’s believed that bringing in defenders is the transfer priority.

Going into the Champions League qualifiers against FK Sarajevo Tony Ralston is the only recognised right-back at the club following the recent departures of Mikael Lustig, Cristian Gamboa and Jeremy Toljan.
