Celtic are interested in signing Martin Caceres in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Caceres has decided to leave Southampton due to lack of playing time.

The Uruguay international defender joined Southampton on a free transfer in February and could make just a single appearance in the Premier League for the Saints.

According to The Sun, Celtic have made contact with Caceres over the signing the 30-year-old on a free transfer in the summer.

The report has claimed that Premier League duo Leicester City and Watford have also contacted the former Barcelona and Juventus defender.

Celtic, who have won the Scottish Premiership this season, will be aiming to feature in the group stage of the Champions League during the 2017-18 campaign.

Caceres could be a good signing, as he is versatile enough to play central defender or as a right-back.

The former Sevilla defender has a lot of experience, and that could come in handy for the Bhoys in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.
