Celtic have been strongly linked with a move for Fousseni Diabate as the transfer window is set to close.
The winger is out of contention for a first team place at Leicester with Celtic keen to bring in another wide man, although, ironically in January when he was asked about Marian Shved, Brendan Rodgers responded by saying that the club already had a million wingers!
The Herald and Daily Record are both running with the story on the day that Moritz Bauer joined the hoops on loan from Stoke City.
Record Sport understands Leicester City winger Fousseni Diabate has emerged as a potential option.
The French-born 23-year-old, who has represented Mali, is set to leave the King Power Stadium with Harvey Barnes, Demarai Gray and Marc Albrighton ahead of him in Brendan Rodgers’ pecking order.
Diabate spent the second half of last term on loan to Turkish outfit Sivasspor and it is believed Celtic are monitoring the situation as Lennon hunts a winger.
When he came in as caretaker in February it was noticeable how loan signings Jeremy Toljan, Timo Weah and Oli Burke experienced less game time under Lennon that Rodgers.
The thinking behind that was that the loan signings wouldn’t be around for Champions League qualifiers but it now appears that the club’s focus is switching to domestic matters with Bauer in on loan and interest reported in Diabate and Bournemouth’s Jordon Ibe.
