Celtic are one of 12 clubs pursuing the signature of Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts.

The 20-year-old spent 18 months on loan at Celtic Park, winning the treble last season, and is expected to leave City permanently ahead of the new season.

Nice, Porto and clubs from England and Germany are also keen on signing the England Under-20 international.

Celtic's latest offer is believed to be considerably well below City's valuation of Roberts.

"It was massive," she told BBC Sport.

"She was on my thoughts every training session. She was why I trained on Christmas Day because I thought she wouldn't be. We didn't speak very much and when we did there were arguments, she accused me of hitting her over a hurdle in 1991, it went on for years.

"The psyching out before races was completely aimed at me. In the athletes village, the call room, races before. I had to learn to accept it and it was hugely healthy in terms of pushing me on."
