Celtic have been linked with a shock move for a promising Manchester City talent.
James McAtee is the latest player to be included on the Hoops' summer transfer radar.
The Daily Mail reports that the Scottish champions are among four clubs keen to land the 20-year-old playmaker.
The City kid spent last season on loan at Sheffield United. He was a standout in the Championship as he helped Paul Heckingbottom's side to Premier League promotion.
McAtee is said to be keen to build on that first-team experience, although this is unlikely to come at the Etihad.
This report states that along with Celtic, Wolves, Brighton, and Real Sociedad are all interested parties.
It's believed that some would wish to do a permanent deal, with others would be keen to seal a loan.
Pep Guardiola's side are said to be reluctant to let him go but may allow him the chance to gain further first-team experience.
The academy graduate has been involved with City's pre-season, scoring in a 2-1 friendly win over Bayern Munich last month.
However, he was an unused substitute in the Community Shield loss to Arsenal yesterday.
Meanwhile, Carl Starfelt's dentist appears to have confirmed his Celtic exit, while also confirming the destination of his next transfer.
The Swedish international was left out of Brendan Rodgers' starting XI on Saturday as the Scottish champions got their league campaign off to a winning start against Ross County.
Starfelt was introduced in the second half and appeared emotional as he applauded the Hoops support.
