Celtic have reportedly made enquiries over the possibility of signing exciting young striker Sory Doumbouya.

Actufoot have claimed the Scottish giants are keeping tabs on the Riom-born striker, who plays for French Ligue 2 outfit Rodez AF.

Supposedly he could be available for a cut-price fee, but Celtic may face competition from the likes of FC Sion and FC Basel from Switzerland.

Doumbouya hasn’t actually made a first-team appearance yet for Rodez, but has supposedly wowed in their youth ranks.

Celtic have apparently scouted him during his time at Dijon Football Côte d’Or, and he may well become the subject of firmer interest from Celtic in the coming months.

Celtic are currently well stocked for strikers in their first-team, with Neil Lennon having Odsonne Edouard, Leigh Griffiths, Patryk Klimala and new siging Albian Ajeti (who is currently injured) at his disposal.

That said, any successful move for Doumbouya would probably see him work in the academy to begin with.

TBR’s View – One for the future?

It looks as though Celtic are looking at a potential player for the future.

Doumbouya has already represented Guinea U23s which would suggest he is somewhat talented.

Celtic have, of course, had previous success buying young strikers from France, with Edouard having developed into a top-class striker over the past couple of years.
