In-demand Gabon international Aaron Boupendza has sparked an interest from Celtic according to reports in Turkey.
The Hatayspor striker has netted 22 goals in the Super Lig this term as his side mount a surprise top six charge.
Newspaper Milliyet report that the star man has a number of suitors including Fenerbahce and Galatasaray but the Parkhead side are currently leading the pack.
They claim that a €6.5million bid has been knocked back with negotiations still on-going with the managerless side.
The report further notes that it would be the 24-year-old's preference to remain in Turkey having only completed a move from Bordeaux 12 months ago.
Boupendza has mainly played as a striker alongside Mama Diouf but can play anywhere along the front three.
Celtic will require a major rebuild this summer with a number of top players expected to leave the club.
Among those is talisman Odsonne Edouard as he approaches the final 12 months of his contract.
With Eddie Howe still the frontrunner for the hot seat the only summer arrival so far is Liam Shaw, who has agreed a pre-contract agreement to leave Sheffield Wednesday.
