Scottish giants Celtic are reportedly close to sealing a loan deal for Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.

Celtic have reportedly identified Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe as a potential loan signing.

Having already missed out on the Champions League, manager Neil Lennon is under pressure to make additions as Celtic look to successfully defend their league title.

According to The Express, the Scottish giants have made an approach for Ibe, who has fallen down the pecking order at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth shelled out £15m for Ibe in 2016, but the former Liverpool man has only made 44 starts in the Premier League during his three years on the south coast.

The report adds that the Cherries have placed a £20m price-tag on the 23-year-old, effectively ruling out any chance of a permanent deal.

Ibe has just a year remaining on his contract with Bournemouth.
