    Some of the papers have linked us to him. Ex Bayern Munich defensive mid. Plays in the second tier in Germany. Plays for German u21s.

    21 years of age. Anyone seen him play?

    He also confirmed Celtic would strengthen during the January transfer window. Telegraph Sport understands one target is Niklas Dorsch, the Germany Under-21 defensive midfielder who spent six years with Bayern Munich’s * side and tipped to become an influential first-team player.

    Dorsch, though, played one senior game against Eintracht Frankfurt and, although he scored, felt he was stagnating in Munich and turned down the offer of an extended contract in order to join FC Heidenheim in Bundesliga 2.

    During the summer Dorsch told SportBild he had no regrets about his move. “Leaving Bayern was absolutely the right decision,” he said. “I definitely wanted out, even though I learned a lot in my time there.

    “I played in only this one Bundesliga game at Bayern and still the message was that I should extend my contract but I told the front office, ‘No, not a chance.’ It was clear to me that I wanted to do something different.

    “I never got a fair chance at Bayern, in my view. I wasn’t allowed to play in the Bundesliga as a youth player until the championship was already certain and they wanted to spare some established players.”

    Dorsch is believed to have a €3.2 million release fee in his contract with FC Heidenheim, which Celtic do not see as a barrier to a possible January move.

    A player not content to rot as an eternal substitute. Good.

    We do need to start looking for a Broony replacement.

    Loan to buy to see..

    If he'd be up for it that is..

    Seems to have slowed with injuries..

    Still a Spurs midfielder would generally walk in to ours..

    He'd boss it up here. If Broony can still kick it at his age, Wanyama will be fine.
