Former Celtic defender Jeremie Frimpong is wanted by European giants such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

This is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano who claims that the Bayer Leverkusen star is thought of highly by all three clubs.

Frimpong joined the Bundesliga side in January 2021 after a successful 18-month period at Parkhead.

Writing on Twitter, Romano said: "Jeremie Frimpong remains one to watch this summer as his agent met with Barcelona, Bayern and Man United almost two months ago.

He scored nine times and provided 11 assists across 48 appearances last season and also made his debut in the Champions League.

The Dutchman also travelled to Qatar as part of his country's World Cup squad but did not feature during the competition.

Reports have stated that Celtic have a 30 per cent sell-on clause of any profit made in a deal involving Frimpong.

Meanwhile, 

Celtic have "agreed" a deal in principle to sign Norwegian midfielder Odin Thiago Holm. 

This is according to a report from the outlet TV 2 Sport which claims that "Vålerenga and Celtic have in practice agreed on a transfer for the 20-year-old for a total package of around NOK 35 million (£2.5 million)." 

It is also stated that the 20-year-old is currently on holiday and is likely to complete a medical on his return.

Holm played 26 times for Vålerenga last year, scoring three goals and providing one assist.

He has also made 12 appearances during the current campaign. 

The attacking midfielder recently followed the Scottish champions on Instagram, adding fuel to the speculation that he is set to become a Hoops player.
