Celtic are reported to be in talks to sign Bolivian teenage winger Moises Paniagua.

The 18-year-old is currently on loan at Wydad AC in Morocco from Club Always Ready.

He has nine international caps and two goals already.

According to El Diaro in Bolivia, Celtic are one of three clubs that have spoken to his representatives about a move.

The other two clubs are Ajax and Ferencvaros.



His agent, Silvio Fontana, has confirmed he has met with the three clubs.

They are discussing whether a loan-to-buy deal or a straight transfer is possible.

Ferencvaros are reportedly leading the race, but Celtic are also keen.

Wydad currently have an option to buy Paniagua as part of his loan deal, which could affect the transfer situation.

The young winger played in a pre-World Cup friendly against Scotland in June.
