Crystal Palace face competition for Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie.

The Daily Record says Sampdoria are chasing the Scotsman, who is out of contract at Parkhead in January, as a potential Mikkel Damsgaard replacement after the 21-year-old's spectacular Euro 2020.

Patrick Vieira's Palace were recently linked with him and Celtic could be forced into a summer sale in order not to lose the Scotland international on a free transfer midway through the season.

Christie, 26, has been with Celtic since 2015 and Monaco were also tagged as interested last month.
