Celtic star Alistair Johnston has emerged as a transfer target for Inter Milan, according to reports.
The right-back, 26, is believed to be on a shortlist of summer moves the Serie A giants would like to make.
Inter.Live claims that the Italian side are on the hunt for a new right-sided full-back to compete with Dutch international Denzel Dumfries.
Matteo Darmian, formerly of Manchester United, is the current understudy for Inter.
However, manager Simone Inzaghi does tend to deploy him across other positions on the pitch due to his versatility.
So, it's claimed that Inter could come calling for Johnston at the end of the season.
The report claims that Inter are 'working on' a deal for Johnston, although, they do have other recruitment targets in mind too.
