Celtic are reportedly set to offer a new contract to Daizen Maeda.
According to reports, Celtic are keen to see the Japan forward pen new terms to 'ward off transfer interest'.
The Scottish Sun claim Celtic are preparing to present a new contract to Maeda. His current contract runs until the summer of 2027.
It's thought Celtic chiefs want to see Maeda commit to a longer-term deal with improved terms.
The winger, who has been used as a central striker in recent months, has 28 goals this season and is a leading contender for player of the year.

Brendan Rodgers previously admitted he'd be surprised if there wasn't transfer interest in Maeda after a stunning season so far.
However, Celtic officials want to keep him at Parkhead by agreeing a new deal.
Rodgers said of the forward: "I would think Daizen would be getting interest.
"If you’re doing it at a Champions League level, you’re showing you can do it on that stage.
"If you’re scoring goals like he has, working as hard as he does, then of course that will always bring attention.
"Daizen is a great symbol for our team and the collective, he brings the highest level of intensity we want.
"He is deserving of everything he’s getting so far, and he’s developing as a football player."
