Moritz Jenz is the latest defender linked with a move to Celtic.
The 22-year-old was the regular centre-half for Lausanne-Sport last season and can also turn out at right-back.
On Wednesday Celtic effectively swopped Kris Ajer for Carl Starfelt but are still short on numbers at the back with no sign of Chris Jullien returning following knee surgery.
Stephen Welsh and Dane Murray are likely to be the central defenders against Midtjylland on Wednesday but with five weeks left of the transfer window the clock is starting to tick down for Ange Postecoglou to reshape his squad.
Glasgow Times reports:
The 6ft3in centre-half has been plying his trade in Switzerland with Lausanne-Sport since last year. At just 22-years-old the towering ace featured 30 times for the Swiss outfit last season as he helped them towards a sixth-placed finish in the top league.
And Herald and Times Sport understands Celts have been monitoring the player for some time as he can also operate at right-back.
He scored his only goal of the campaign in a 1-1 draw away at FC Sion but he fits the profile of player the Hoops have been looking to in a bid to bolster their first-team ranks.
Jenz started his career with Tebe Youth in Germany, spent five years at Fulham then moved to Lausanne-Sport a year ago.
With two years left on his contract with the Swiss side he won’t be available on the cheap but the signings of Starfelt, Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada have shown that Celtic are prepared to spend in the £3-5m bracket.
