Who is Aissa Laidouni? Celtic transfer 'target' that can do a bit of both for Tunisia and celebrates a tackle

Having already added one World Cup star to their squad, Celtic could be about to capture another after being linked with Aissa Laidouni.

Ange Postecoglou was hunting a holding midfielder in the summer. Vinicius Souza was on the wishlist but after a number of clubs tried to land him, the Brazilian opted to join Espanol in La Liga. Aaron Mooy was familiar to Postecoglou and eventually arrived on a free transfer, while Oliver Abildgaard was a deadline day signing on loan from Rubin Kazan, but has yet to make any real impression. A specialist is still being sought and Laidouni could fit the bill.

Laidouni impressed during the World Cup for Tunisia despite going out in the group stages, starring in their impressive victory over holders France. Wolfsburg are also thought to be interested in the 25-year-old, who enjoyed a good season with Hungarian club Ferencvaros. He could be available for £3.5million.
