Scottish giants Celtic are seeking to wrap up a deal for Red Salzburg left-back Gideon Mensah before the transfer window closes.

The link with Neil Lennon's side comes just days after Mensah was sensationally touted with a switch to Barcelona.

The Hoops are in negotiations to loan the Ghaianan youngster with an option to buy.

The 21-year-old joined the Austrian giants in 2016 from Ghana Premier League outfit West Africa Football Academy.

He featured 15 times during a loan stint at Sturm Graz last term.
