Report: Celtic still keen to sign Leicester defender Filip Benkovic

Celtic have signed two players – Patryk Klimala and Ismaila Soro – this month, but Neil Lennon is still looking to make at least one more signing before Friday’s transfer deadline.

The Bhoys are looking to bolster their defence, and have earmarked Leicester City’s Filipe Benkovic in the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old joined the Foxes in 2018 from Dinamo Zagreb for a reported fee of £13m but he is yet to play in the Premier League.

The Croatian international will be allowed to leave on loan this month, and several clubs are vying for his signature.
