Newcastle United should be looking at Celtic contract rebel Tom Rogic.
Celtic are on the verge of another domestic treble under Brendan Rodgers, but they do have one major concern heading into the summer transfer window.
The Bhoys beat Rangers 5-0 on Sunday to clinch seventh straight league title, and are now a Scottish Cup final win away from another treble under their impressive manager.
Celtic will naturally be receiving interest for likes of Kieran Tierney and Moussa Dembele this summer, but the future of Tom Rogic has to be a major worry.
The 25-year-old playmaker is out of contract next summer, and the Daily Record report that Southampton are interested in signing him having watched him score in that 5-0 win just days ago.
Rogic is set to feature for Australia at the World Cup this summer, and Celtic have to be concerned that one of their top talents is entering the final year of his deal and is attracting Premier League interest.
One club who should join Southampton in targeting Rogic is Newcastle United, given that manager Rafael Benitez has been searching for a new No. 10 for some time now, with Ayoze Perez inconsistent at best.
Rogic has real quality on the ball and has proven that he can be a goalscoring midfielder, meaning he’s not only a creator but also knows how to find the net himself.
At 25, Rogic still has the best years ahead of him, and with just a year to run on his deal, Newcastle could be in line to land themselves a bargain – and that should be appealing to both Benitez and Mike Ashley.
