Celtic in transfer fight with Crystal Palace as big spending EPL clubs join race for attacker

Celtic are believed to have been joined by a handful of English Premier League clubs in the hunt for Bamba Dieng of Marseille.

The Senegalese international is in-demand this summer and his chances of playing regularly look bleak after being exiled from senior training at the Ligue 1 club. It is reported by The Daily Mail that Celtic have 'scouted' the attacker who has been labelled 'the new Sadio Mane' back in his homeland. Newcastle United, Leeds United, West Ham United and Crystal Palace are the others believed to be in a similar boat to the Hoops.

EPL newcomers Nottingham Forest are targeting Benfica's Goncalo Ramos and Dieng as they look to bolster their attack. They have an extensive list and one man the Parkhead club - who will play Champions League group stage football this season - is believed to be on it. Reports state all clubs can 'see potential' in the pacy winger.
