Celtic are reportedly fighting to try and sign Cercle Brugge left-back Flavio Nazinho.
The 21-year-old, along with Paulo Bernardo, was part of the Portuguese under-21 squad that reached the quarter-finals of the under-21 European Championships this summer.
Nazinho only joined Cercle permanently last year, penning a four-year deal after an initial spell on loan from Sporting CP.

After a standout campaign in which he scored two goals and registered six assists in 39 games from left-back, he is now 'expected' to depart Belgium, claims Portuguese outlet Record, who say that Celtic are 'fighting' with La Liga's Real Sociedad and Serie A outfit Roma for his services.
The Parkhead club will undoubtedly be in the market for another left-back this summer to provide cover for the returning Kieran Tierney.
Recently speaking on the Official Celtic FC Podcast, he outlined how much he can't wait to be back playing for his boyhood team.
Tierney said: "I've not been to a game at Celtic Park, but I went to Hampden for a semi-final, which we unfortunately did not win.
"That was the only game I got back to because the schedule when I was away as well is just as mental.
"I've thought about it [Celtic Park], though. We've parked at Celtic Park to come here, and the feeling you get is something that I've not had for a while.
"That'll be a special day, it really will.
"My family are so proud, and they always are, but I think coming home is something special, because it is the dream that I have worked towards for all my life. To come back is amazing, and I think if I'm being honest with myself, it was always a matter of when.
"I just can't wait to get back in action."
