CELTIC have been linked with the signing of Jordan Larsson.
Son of Hoops legend Henrik, the Spartak Moscow star is reportedly on the radar of Ange Postecoglou.
Adored by the Parkhead faithful, legendary striker Henrik scored a stunning 242 goals in 313 games during his time in Scotland, which saw him earn a move to Barcelona.
Jordan, 24, was raised in Glasgow before beginning his football journey Barca upon his dad's move to Spain.
The attacker has played for a variety of clubs including Högaborgs BK, Helsingborgs IF and NEC in the Eredivisie.
However, in 2019 he moved from IFK Norrköping to Spartak and has remained in the Russian captial since.
This season though he's struggled with injury and poor form.

And Aftonbladet reports that Larsson is therefore available for transfer, and Celtic are among the clubs interested in a move.
Spartak had previously set an asking price of around £13million but would be willing to go below that now as they look to free up wages.
The Swedish source reports Celtic are keeping tabs on the situation, but they face competition from West Ham and Borussia Dortmund for his signature.
