HaberTurk claim Besiktas president Orman will fly to London to discuss the transfer of Dusko Tosic with interested clubs.

Celtic and Stoke City have been linked with the player in recent weeks, but yesterday Turkish newspaper Gunes reported Crystal Palace and Tottenham are also in the mix to sign the Serbian defender.

Yesterday, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was asked about his interest in Tosic, and the former Liverpool dismissed the rumours.

Despite these comments, HaberTurk say Celtic are very much in the mix for the 32 year old, and that Orman will look to get a deal done for a fee in the region €4m.

Earlier this week it was reported in Turkey Celtic had tabled a bid of €3m for Tosic as Rodgers looks to bring in a replacement for Eric Sviatchenko.

The Dane this week joined FC Midtjylland on loan, and subsequently Celtic could be looking for an experienced defender in this window, to fill the void left.

Tosic is currently at Besiktas winter training camp, but the Serbia international has been told he can speak to other clubs if offers come in.

The Turkish media are convinced, and won’t let Celtic’s manager nudge them from their stance.
