Celtic Tracking Aalesund Forward Leke James

Scottish champions Celtic, who are in the market for a striker, are mulling over a move for Aalesund marksman Leke James.

The 22 - year - old was scouted during a league game between Aalesund and Tromso on Sunday and it is thought that he impressed, though he did not add to his goal tally in the league.

With Leke James’s contract with the Norwegian club set to expire in December 31,2016, he would be allowed to leave the Color Line Stadium outfit in the January transfer window if the offer is good.

In their bid to lure the attacker to Scotland, Celtic face competition from clubs based in China, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Holland and Germany.

Leke James is represented by a London - based intermediary, who has brought several international stars to the English Premier League.
