Celtic are reportedly keen on Manchester City ace.

Oleksandr Zinchenko #35 of Manchester City chases the ball against the Borussia Dortmund during an International Champions Cup match at Soldier Field on July 20, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois.

Celtic have expressed a late interest in Manchester City ace Oleksandr Zinchenko, report Spanish outlet ABC.

Zinchenko is reported to be closing in on a loan move to Real Betis, with Celtic’s interest appearing to be too late.

Ukrainian talent Zinchenko is capable of playing in both midfield and at full-back and would have been a useful addition for Celtic.

Zinchenko is claimed to now be waiting for his move to Betis to be signed off by City.

Celtic and City have in recent years agreed loan deals for Jason Denayer, John Guidetti, and Patrick Roberts.

Zinchenko came close to leaving City permanently this summer with The Mail reporting a £16 million fee was agreed with Wolves, but the player rejected the switch as he is not willing to give up on his future with the Premier League champions.

A loan deal keeps his City hopes alive, whether he ends up with Betis, or Celtic.
