Celtic player Reo Hatate 'scouted' by Serie A club

Celtic star Reo Hatate is reportedly attracting interest from Udinese. 

The Serie A club are considering a big move money for the Japanese midfielder this summer.

The Scottish Sun reports that the Italian club have scouted Hatate in recent weeks.

They say that Udinese scouts were in attendance as Brendan Rodgers' side romped past Kilmarnock 5-1 back on Saturday, April 12. He scored twice that day.

It's believed the 27-year-old also has admirers in France and Germany, as club's in Europe's top five leagues look to cast their net far and wide to improve their squads.

It's said that Celtic would look for a hefty fee in order for any deal to be done.

Hatate has scored 26 goals and notched 28 assists in his 140 appearances since joining from Kawasaki Frontale in December 2021. He cost Celtic just £1.4m.

He has won four league titles, two league cups and two Scottish Cups - with a potential third on the way later this month.
