Marseille threaten Celtic hopes for Man City striker Guidetti

Olympique Marseille are chasing Manchester City striker John Guidetti.

The Daily Record says the 22-year-old Swede's sensational scoring run for Celtic has alerted scouts from all over the continent ahead of the January transfer window.

The Manchester City ace, who has hit nine goals in 10 games since arriving at Celtic in August on a one-year loan, is out of contract at the end of the season and is in line for a Sweden call-up for the forthcoming match against France.

Guidetti had a £25million buy-out clause in his deal at City in 2012 but may be available for £5m in January.

Marseille sent scouts to watch him net the winner in the 1-0 victory against Inverness last month and sent an impressive report to boss Marcelo Bielsa.
