Celtic are reportedly interested in a January move for striker Andraz Sporar, who plays for Slovakian top-flight club Slovan Bratislava.

According to the Daily Mail, the Bhoys are considering a swoop for the 25-year-old when the transfer window opens.

It is understood that the Scottish champions sent scouts to watch him in action during the Europa League and that he’s valued around £5million.

The report details that Celtic boss Neil Lennon is prioritising signing another striker next month to bolster the options in his squad.

Sporar has a phenomenal record of 20 goals in 26 games across all competitions this campaign and has been in great form in front of net.

The Slovenia international managed five goals during Slovan Bratislava’s six Europa League group stage fixtures, but that wasn’t enough to qualify for the knockout rounds.

TBR’s View:

Sporar looks like he could be a great £5million target for Celtic, as he’s shown he can score a variety of different goals and is in the form of his life right now.

After making an impact in the Europa League, there is no reason why he couldn’t do the same at Parkhead in the Scottish top-flight.

It’s a smart move from Lennon to seek another forward in January, as they can’t just rely on Odsonne Edouard as their talisman and need to improve the squad.
