Kelechi Iheanacho’s future at Sevilla FC is in doubt after struggling for form this season.
The Nigerian striker, who joined from Leicester City in the summer, has failed to score in La Liga and has seen his role diminished.
Several clubs, including Celtic and Middlesbrough, are now interested in securing his services.
Celtic, managed by Brendan Rodgers, is reportedly keen to sign Iheanacho on loan with an option to buy.
Rodgers previously managed Iheanacho at Leicester, where the striker enjoyed a productive spell.
However, Middlesbrough has emerged as the front-runner, with the Championship club seeking a replacement for Emmanuel Latte Lath, who is set to join Atlanta United.
Iheanacho, at a crossroads in his career, may be poised for a return to the Premier League or Scotland as he looks to revive his fortunes.
The decision on his future is expected to be made in the coming days as the winter transfer window nears its close.
