Celtic are reportedly preparing to make a bid for Montpellier winger Anthony Mounier after sending scouts to watch him during this season.

Celtic have reportedly sent scouts to watch Montpellier winger Anthony Mounier over the course of the 2014-15 season ahead of a potential move for the winger this summer.

Ronny Deila is expected to be busy during the transfer window as he looks to strengthen his side in a bid to return to the group stage of the Champions League.

The Sun reports that the manager asked his scouts to assess Mounier on a number of occasions, and is now preparing a bid for the 27-year-old Frenchman.

Mounier scored nine goals in 37 appearances for Montpellier last season.
