Celtic are set to ramp up their search for a winger with Nicolas Kuhn <\/a>on the brink of a move to Como.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Premiership champions are set to bank \u00a317.2m for the move to Serie A<\/a> just 18 months after Celtic<\/a> splashed \u00a33m to bring the winger to Glasgow’s east end.<\/p>\n

But Brendan Rodgers <\/a>will now hope to see the eight-figure jackpot splashed on a replacement – with January recruit Jota remaining sidelined for the start of the new season and the crucial Champions League<\/a> qualifier.<\/p>\n

Michel-Ange Balikwisha appears to be moving back up the Parkhead agenda with Celtic holding a long-standing interest in the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n

Gazet van Antwerpen <\/a>report that Royal Antwerp hope to sell the wide man as part of a bid to recoup \u00a320million in transfer fees this summer and balance the books – despite bullish stances from the club over a potential departure.<\/a><\/p>\n

Voetbal 24<\/a> claim Antwerp are playing hardball in an attempt to “receive the most money” for a player entering the final year of his contract but “must sell” the forward.<\/p>\n

But amid the standoff, Celtic are on alert over Anderlecht attacker Nilson Angulo.<\/p>\n

The Ecuador international has been attracting attention from all over Europe after an impressive display and reports in his homeland report that a \u00a33million fee could seal an exit from the Belgian side.<\/p>\n

It is claimed by Bola VIP<\/a> that negotiations are “moving” with the Hoops, Villarreal, Sevilla and an unnamed Serie A side.<\/p>\n

Celtic have also been credited with an interest in Nantes winger Herba Guirassy – but the French side are set to demand big money for the 18-year-old this summer.<\/p>\n

L’Equipe<\/a> report that Club Brugge have made a \u00a34.1million offer for the rising talent to test the resolve of the French side.<\/p>\n

However, it is claimed that the club do not want to sell – unless a suitor raises that offer by the Belgian side ‘considerably.”<\/p>\n

Sarpsborg winger Sondre Orjasaeter has also told suitors <\/a>he is now “ready” to make a move away from Norway amid interest from the Hoops and PSV Eindhoven.<\/p>\n

However, he won’t come cheap with Norwegian outlet 433<\/a> reporting that Celtic have been told a \u00a37.2million asking price has been place on the forward.<\/p>\n
