Celtic step up Jordan Lotomba pursuit with formal offer to Feyenoord

The Hoops are in the market for additional cover on the right side of defence after first-choice Alistair Johnston was ruled out until the end of October through injury.

Johnston’s absence has left O’Neill with teenager Colby Donovan and Tony Ralston as his recognised options in the position, with Celtic now looking to bolster their depth.

According to Sky Sports, the Scottish champions have tabled an offer to Feyenoord for Switzerland international Lotomba.

The 27-year-old is entering the final year of his contract with the Eredivisie side, potentially opening the door for a move away from Rotterdam before the window closes.

Lotomba joined Feyenoord from Nice two years ago and has emerged as a late option for Celtic as the club attempt to complete several pieces of transfer business.

Time is running out, however, particularly when it comes to Celtic’s European plans.
