Celtic are reportedly interested in attacker Patryk Klimala from Polish top-flight club Jagiellonia.

According to the Daily Record, the Bhoys have joined the pursuit for the 21-year-old alongside Italian outfit Genoa and also some German clubs.

It is understood that a clause in his contract means he could be available to sign for £3.5million and Celtic are currently monitoring him.

Klimala has been in decent form so far this season, scoring seven goals in 18 games across all competitions.

The Poland Under-21 international is a quick centre-forward with a growing reputation and he’s under the close watch of Scottish champions Celtic.

TBR’s View:

Klimala is still a fairly unknown talent that is yet to play out of his homeland Poland, but has started to find the net more consistently this season and it’s no coincidence that teams are now looking at him.

The youngster would be a punt for Neil Lennon’s side in January, but they could do with more attacking reinforcements going into the second half of the campaign.

Celtic can’t just rely on Frenchman Odsonne Edouard as their main source of goals from striker, especially when they have to deal with both domestic and European competitions.

A new centre-forward would increase competition at Parkhead and should be strongly considered in January.
