Southampton winger Mohammed Elyounoussi set to extend Celtic loan deal for another year with Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster also on Scottish champions' radar

Celtic are close to securing Southampton winger Mohammed Elyounoussi on a new one-year loan deal.

The Norwegian international spent last season at Parkhead, scoring seven goals in 20 appearances.
