Celtic are hoping to land Erik Huseklepp ahead of Premier League clubs.
The Times says Celtic have set their sights on Norwegian player of the year Huseklepp.
The 26-year-old striker has emerged as his country's number one frontman and Neil Lennon will have to beat competition from Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn if he is to land the player.
Hoops chief executive Peter Lawwell was locked in talks with Brann Bergen officials to agree a fee last night.
