According to the French media, Celtic are monitoring Le Mans midfielder Stephane Diarra.
L’Equipe claim Celtic are one of a number of clubs who are watching the player ahead of the January transfer window.
Considering the success Celtic have had with French based players over the past few years it stands to reason they could be in the market for another French lad to join their ranks this season. Edouard, Ntcham and Jullien head up the France CSC in the Celtic dressing room at present and who can forget Moussa Dembele before he left to return to France.

Celtic look likely to add to their squad in January and as we saw from the summer window if they see value in signing a player they will do so even if the position is covered.
