Celtic are reportedly looking to sign Toulouse ace Christopher Jullien.
According to L’Equipe, Toulouse defender Christopher Jullien has visited Celtic ahead of potentially making a move to Parkhead this summer.
Jullien, 26, started out with Auxerre before heading off to Germany with Freiburg, and then returned to France with Toulouse back in 2016.
The 6ft 5in centre back has impressed since making the move, and he’s been linked with a host of Premier League clubs during his time with Toulouse.
Now, it seems that Celtic are nearing a move, as Jullien has allegedly visited the Bhoys ahead of a potential move, having a look at the facilities.
It’s claimed that Jullien will cost somewhere around €8million and €10million (£7million and £9million), meaning he would be close to Celtic’s record transfer.
Celtic are losing Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic this summer, and Neil Lennon may now be backed with a big-money defensive addition to bolster his back line.
Lennon does have Kristoffer Ajer and Jozo Simunovic at his disposal, but Jullien bring experience, height and dominant aerial ability, and Celtic fans will love the spending on show by the Bhoys if they can secure his signature.
