Mitchel Bakker has no interest in joining Celtic from PSG this summer, the Daily Record suggests.

Celtic have been chasing the 20-year-old for much of the summer so far, but their attempts to bring him to Parkhead have so far been fruitless.

Doing a deal with PSG has proven difficult for Celtic, but even if they are able to agree to a loan or a permanent transfer, it seems unlikely that the Dutchman will arrive.

That is because Bakker is said to have no interest in making the move to Glasgow to join up with Neil Lennon’s side.

That could be a blow to Celtic, who would have been making an appealing addition by bringing Bakker in.

Bakker is considered to be an excellent talent, after already being rewarded with some first-team football at PSG.

Celtic need to add competition for Greg Taylor at left-back, so it would be no surprise if Lennon’s side did seek out an alternative target in that area now.
