Celtic hoping to win race for Vitoria Guimaraes striker Balde

Celtic boss Neil Lennon says he is hoping the club are successful in their pursuit of striker Adimo Balde.

The 22-year old Portugal youth international is keen to take the next step up from VitoriaGuimaraes and although the Hoops are in a strong position to sign him, Lennon is aware that there is plenty of other interest in his services.

"Balde is a player we have scouted and looks the type we would like, but whether we can get a deal done or not, I don't know," he said.

"He is a big striker and has the physical attributes we are looking for, but he is interesting other clubs as well."
