According to reports in Spain, via The Scotsman, Celtic are interested in signing Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout.
Celtic are, however, not the only team to be keen on the Frenchman. Veretout is also thought to be interesting Celta Vigo, Bournemouth and two Ligue 1 teams at this time.
Veretout was part of the Villa side who were relegated from the Premier League last season, as his side finished rock bottom of the English top-flight. Yet, Veretout was one of the few players to come out of the season with any commendation at all.
He made 29 appearances in all competitions for Villa, and was perhaps their most creative attacking outlet in most of those matches. Veretout did only sign for Villa last year, signing for £2million from Nantes in Ligue 1.
The 23-year-old’s signing would be a massive sign of intent from Brendan Rodgers, as he looks to guide Celtic through the Champions League play-offs.

More media made up rubbish along with the usual pre season empty promises from Celtic always give me pre season dread for the season ahead especially when rangers are involved
