Celtic have made an official approach to Nordsjaelland for their midfielder Benjamin Nygren.
The 23-year-old has six months remaining on his contract and has interest from clubs in the top five leagues, but Celtic hope that by moving fast they will be able to persuade the Sweden international to move to Scotland.
Danish club Nordsjaelland are understood to be open to a sale at the right price.
Nygren had previous spells in Belgium and the Netherlands before joining Nordsjaelland in January 2022.
His main position is as an attacking midfielder, but he can also play on both wings and as a centre-forward.
After progressing through his nation's youth ranks, he was given his senior Sweden debut in March by Jon Dahl Tomasson and scored in both of Sweden's international friendlies in June – victories against Hungary (June 6) and Algeria (June 10).

Nygren scored a hat-trick for Nordsjaelland against Fenerbache in the Conference League last season.
Since moving to the Danish club in 2022, he has scored 35 goals and provided eight assists in 107 games. Last season, he scored 16 goals and provided four assists as his side finished fifth in the Danish Superliga.
