Leeds and Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in the Huddersfield Town star.
Celtic are in desperate need of a new winger ahead of the January transfer window, and Huddersfield Town star Rajiv van La Parra should be targeted by Brendan Rodgers in the new year.
Scott Sinclair scored only his sixth goal of the season in 30 league and cup encounters on Wednesday night, blasting a penalty into the bottom corner during a 3-0 win over Motherwell. But he has been nowhere near the required standard.
The former Manchester City man is struggling to replicate his 2016-17 player-of-the-season form this season, while Lewis Morgan and Jonny Hayes are failing to provide good enough back-up.
A new winger is required to form a deadly front three with Odsonne Edouard and James Forrest, and 27-year-old Huddersfield star van La Parra should be on the Hoops’ shortlist.
The Sun claim Leeds and Middlesbrough want to sign the Netherlands Under-21 international on loan with a view to a permanent £5million move in the summer – and Celtic have got to join that race.
Known for his explosive speed and bags of tricks, van La Parra has managed just five Premier League appearances this season and is available to leave Huddersfield in January.
More than adept in the Championship and showing in glimpses he can cut it in the top flight of English football, £5million is a bargain fee for a player of van La Parra’s quality.
Given time to shine and consistent game time, he would be an excellent addition for Celtic if Rodgers chose to splash out on the winger. He could be the key to securing a treble treble.
