Celtic are looking at the possibility of making a move for Lille forward Salomon Kalou.
The Ivorian, who put in a lacklustre display as Lille slipped to a 1-0 defeat to FC Porto in the first leg of the club's Champions League playoff tie last night, is believed to be being considered as a potential addition by the Scottish champions.
According to French broadcaster Eurosport, Celtic are pondering Kalou and are aware that Lille want around €5m to sell the striker.
Kalou headed to Lille following his release from Chelsea in 2012, fresh off helping the Blues win the Champions League.
The 29-year-old endured a mixed start to life in France, but has since regularly been amongst the goals for Lille.
