Celtic and Arsenal are battling for Le Mans goalkeeper Yoann Pele.
The News of the World says the 26-year-old, currently third choice for his country, is running down his contract at Le Mans.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger remains in pole position for his signature but Hoops manager Gordon Strachan is also keen.
Promotion hopefuls Birmingham have also enquired about Pele, who can leave Le Mans for nothing at the end of the season.
