Celtic are in talks with Swedish international Benjamin Nygren as Brendan Rodgers hones in on his next summer recruit.

The 23-year-old winger scored 16 goals in 32 appearances for Danish side Nordsjælland last season.

He also has two goals in four caps on the international stage, including one in the 5-1 victory over Northern Ireland earlier this year.

Nordsjælland have given Celtic permission to speak to Nygren, who can play on the left or right wing.

The Premiership champions are hoping to add him to their squad as they begin preparations for next season.

Scotland international Kieran Tierney has already been signed on a pre-contract from Arsenal as he returns to Celtic Park after six years in London.
