Celtic target Kyle Edwards is on trial with Reading ahead of a possible move to the English Championship side.
The 23-year-old played 56 minutes for the Royals in their 1-0 win over Lincoln City in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Reading boss Veljko Paunovic has yet to make a signing this summer and Edwards is viewed as a potential replacement for Michael Olise who departed for Crystal Palace for £8million.
The former England under-20 international has been on Celtic’s radar for a few years and he was strongly linked with a move in the January window under Neil Lennon.
Celtic have demonstrated a willingness to recruit targets that were identified before Ange Postecoglou's arrival with the signing of Ange Postecoglou from Sheffield Wednesday.
It’s understood that Celtic have been in contact with the player’s representatives as they assess his wage demands ahead of a potential contract offer.
Edwards is available on a free transfer this summer after his contract expired with West Bromwich Albion.
He made five appearances for the Baggies last season as they got relegated from the English Premier League.
All of Edwards’ Premier League appearances came under former boss Slaven Bilic and the talented winger fell out of favour with Sam Allardyce.
Edwards scored four times in 49 appearances for the Hawthorns side after progressing through their youth academy.
The Dudley-born star is comfortable playing on either wing and he would provide competition for the likes of James Forrest and Michael Johnston.
