Celtic are pursuing deals for Reading winger Michael Olise, Hearts left-back Aaron Hickey and loan renewals for Mo Elyounoussi and Fraser Forster, according to the Scottish Daily Mail.

Manager Neil Lennon has already stated that he wants to sit down with Southampton to see if they can secure agreements for Elyounoussi and Forster, while the links with Hickey have been persistent for the past few months.

However, the link to Olise is a new development. Head of Football Operations Nicky Hammond is aware of the France Under 18 international’s talent having spent some time at the Royals himself.

The 18-year-old moved from Chelsea’s academy in 2015, before making his first-team debut for the English Championship club at the back end of last season.

Olise has gone on to make 14 appearances for Reading this campaign, having played in a number of different positions, including on the right-wing, on the left flank as well as in the number 10 role.
