Reports in France claim Celic have been offered the services of free agent, Giannelli Imbula.

Football fans in this country may remember the defensive midfielder from when he made a £21m move [TransferMarkt] to Stoke City back in 2016.

The player’s fortunes have taken a massive nose dive since the move, loaned out to many clubs while at Stoke, Imbula was released 11 months ago by the English club. After a short stint with Sochi in the Russian league, Gianelli is now looking to get back into football.

Le Parisien claims Celtic have been offered the player.

The report calls the player a wasted talent to this point. Accumulating £46.5m [TransferMarkt] worth of transfers in his early career, there was big hopes for him at Marseille and Porto but it hasn’t worked out at all for him. Is Imbula looking for one last shot at redemption?

Celtic are not in the market for a central midfielder at the moment, their priorities lie more at centre back than anything else.
