Celtic have reportedly renewed their transfer interest in Belgian winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha.
The Scottish Sun claims that scouts from the Scottish Premiership giants watched the 23-year-old in action at the weekend, as his side, Royal Antwerp, lost 5-1 to Union Saint-Gilloise. Balikwisha assisted the goal for his team.
Brendan Rodgers is believed to have been a long-term admirer of the former Beligum Under-21 international.
Speculation had linked the Hoops with a January swoop, until a thigh injury put paid to that notion.

The speedy winger is back to full fitness now though, and it seems that a potential £5m move could be on the cards this summer.
Balikwisha has a little over a year left on his contract, with his deal set to expire in the summer of 2026.
Speaking in February, the player revealed: “Celtic’s interest was concrete, but I chose to stay.
“Leaving with an injury was not ideal. I’d rather take good care of myself so I could be ready for the play-offs with Antwerp.
“We’ll see in the summer transfer window.”
