Mitchel Bakker transfer latest as Celtic plan further bid for PSG left back

Celtic haven’t given up hope of landing PSG’s Mitchel Bakker.

The Dutch left-back, 20, is on boss Neil Lennon’s wanted list.

Despite reports an initial loan bid was rejected by the French champs, MailSport understands Celtic are still in the hunt for Bakker.

The former Ajax kid played in PSG’s 4-0 friendly win over Celtic in July but has Juan Bernat and Layvin Kurzawa ahead of him.

Lenny sees him as potential competition for Greg Taylor with the former Kilmarnock defender his only recognised senior player at left back after Boli Bolingoli's misbehaviour.

The Belgian left back has been out of the squad since breaking quarantine rules and travelling to Spain, causing two games to be postponed and leaving Lennon's men playing catch up.

Lennon has already made five signings this summer with Albian Ajeti, Vasilis Barkas, Moi Elyounoussi, David Turnbull and Shane Duffy already part of his squad.
