Juventus scout Matteo Tognozzi is interested in a move to Celtic as their director of football.

The Italian is among a shortlist of three names for the post including Fergal Harkin of Manchester City and David Webb.

Herald and Times Sport understands Tognozzi would be willing to make the switch to Glasgow from Turin but he is under contract with Juve until June 30.

Tognozzi counts Zenit, Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen among his former clubs before moving to the Old Lady as their foreign countries scouting supervisor. Though he is now their scouting manager.

It comes a short time after David Webb, formerly at Bournemouth, Tottenham and Huddersfield, exclusively told Herald and Time Sport that he would be open to a Celtic offer.

Asked if the Hoops role would appeal, he said: "I think so. Given their historical success and how they want to build from their academy and build a long-term strategy for the club and still maintain success by winning leagues and cups, and Europe, that would definitely appeal to me.

"You could have someone like myself whose skillset could affect a number of positive areas like recruitment, vision. It's something that is appealing."
