Celtic linked with £8.5m transfer swoop for Nantes winger Guirassy

Celtic are reportedly interested in a transfer swoop for Nantes winger Herba Guirassy.

The 18-year-old is thought to have caught the attention of Parkhead scouts.

Le Republicain Sportif credits Celtic with an interest in the winger who has been tipped for a big future in the game.

However, any deal to land Guirassy comes with a couple of hurdles.

First, Celtic would have to stave off competition from other interested parties with Championship leaders Leeds also thought to be keeping tabs on the player.

Then, Nantes would command a significant fee for the winger who seemingly quickly captures the eye through "impressive technical skills".

Guirassy is under contract at the Ligue 1 side for another three years meaning Nantes are in no rush to sell their prized asset.

But, it's reported a fee of around €10m,  in the region of £8.5m, could tempt Nantes to cash in.

Meanwhile, Celtic could receive a bumper transfer windfall for Jeremie Frimpong this summer.

The full-back could make a €40m move later this year with Celtic to gain 30 percent of any transfer profit from his €11m move to Bayer Leverkusen.

Romano posted: "Jeremie Frimpong remains one to watch in the summer.

"Dutch right-back could leave Leverkusen in the summer with many clubs interested.

"The clause in his contract is worth a fee of around €40m."
