Kevin N'Doram in Celtic transfer link as Metz set for fire sale in wake of relegation

Standout Metz star Kevin N'Doram is a target for Premiership champions Celtic - according to a report in his homeland.

The 26-year-old has been a key man for his current club but he could be on the lookout for his next move after they were relegated from Ligue 1.

N'Doram is a holding midfielder and made his breakthrough at Monaco before turning heads at his current club on an initial loan.

Homme Du Match claim he would cost around £2m with two years remaining on his current deal.

Celtic have been linked with a host of players in recent days with revealing Ferencvaros striker Ryan Mmaee has been watched.

That list also includes Ko Itakura and Manchester City team-mate Taylor Harwood-Bellis - with the duo set for loan exits this summer.

Ange Postecoglou is searching for quality ahead of his side's first appearance in the Champions League group stage since 2017.

N'Doram has been capped twice at France U21 - at the same time Celtic trio Moussa Dembele, Odsonne Edouard and Olivier Ntcham were mainstays.

His natural position is the deepest midfield role but he has also played in defence.

He was understood to be on Everton's radar back in 2017 despite limited minutes at Monaco.
