Celtic ARE in the running to sign Egyptian playmaker Mohamed 'Afsha' Magdy - but have been joined by Turkish clubs Galatasaray and Besiktas in the hunt, according to the player's agent.
Ange Postecoglou has added two new defenders to his ranks for January already with Yuki Kobayashi and Alistair Johnston signing up and attentions now turn to further up the pitch. A new striker is on the agenda as Record Sport understands Giorgos Giakoumakis is increasingly likely to be on his way, while another creative midfielder shouldn't be ruled out as they look to ram home their commanding lead in the Premiership.
They have been heavily linked with Afsha and now it seems the Hoops have been joined by Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray and Besiktas. His agent Abdelrahman Ismail told Egyptian radio: "Besiktas, Galatasaray and Celtic are competing to sign Mohamed Magdy Afsha."
