West Bromwich Albion are keen on signing Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic, according to The Mail.

Simunovic has been a key part of Celtic’s dominant side this season, despite being linked with a summer move to Torino last summer.

The Baggies’ interest could provide an opportunity for Celtic as much as they would love to retain Simunovic.

Here are three players they could look to swap for the defender…

Darren Fletcher

Scottish international stat Darren Fletcher has been linked with a move to Celtic before, but elected to continue in the Premier League with West Brom.

The 33-year-old still has plenty left to offer, and West Brom’s interest in Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho could hamper his first team opportunities.

Hal Robson-Kanu

Wales’ Euro 2016 hero, Hal Robson-Kanu capitalised on his success by clinching a move to West Brom.

The Mail reported last summer that Celtic were intersted in bringing him on board, and he has played under manager Brendan Rodgers before during his spell at Reading.

Jonathan Leko

Celtic have a proven track record at helping develop young players, and West Brom should consider loaning them Jonathan Leko.

The 18-year-old striker has made appearances for the Baggies’ first team this season, but could benefit from attempting to emulate Moussa Dembele’s success at Celtic.
