Brazilian winger Tete has announced he has left Shakhtar Donetsk with immediate effect and has revealed there are a host of clubs chasing his signature.

Reports in Ukraine have suggested Celtic are "strong favourites".

The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Lyon and then Leicester City where he worked with Brendan Rodgers.

And the former Liverpool boss spoke in glowing terms about Tete after he joined the Foxes on loan and scored on his debut against Aston Villa.

He said: "Tete was what I have been talking about for 18 months – a right-winger that can take the ball, pass the ball, look after it, make runs and work.

"What a debut for him. It was really good. He knows football, he knows the type of game we were trying to play, and his touch is immaculate.

"He has a good weight of pass but can run in behind. His finish was absolutely brilliant. He loves football off the pitch and he is super professional."

Could the duo be set for a reunion at Parkhead?

Meanwhile, Celtic have confirmed that they will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in a friendly match this month.

Brendan Rodgers' side will face Wolves in a pre-season game in Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday July 29.

The match will kick off at 2pm as the Scottish champions go up against the English Premier League side exactly one week before the start of the Scottish Premiership season.

Celtic are currently enjoying some warm weather training in Portugal and will take on Portuguese outfit Portimonense in a closed-doors friendly tonight with a 5 pm kick-off. Both sides will also face off against each other in another closed-door encounter on Saturday.

The world record domestic treble holders will then head off on a tour of Japan where they will play two more pre-season friendlies against Yokohama F. Marinos on July 19 and then against Gamba Osaka three days later.
