French football expert Adam White believes Brandon Soppy would prove to be a hit if he seals a move to Celtic before the transfer window closes.

Soppy broke into Ligue 1 side Rennes' first-team last season and made 11 appearances.

According to French media outlet L'Equipe, the right-back has entered the final 12 months of his contract and been the subject of interest from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic, who could complete the signing by meeting his €5m (£4.25m) price tag.

The report claims Celtic are facing competition for Soppy's services, with newly-promoted Premier League outfit Watford and Udinese, of Serie A, also keeping a close eye on proceedings.

The 19-year-old has won five caps for France's under-18 side and could add another dimension to Ange Postecoglou's Celtic side after a disastrous start to the campaign.

Having already exited the Champions League in the second qualifying round for the second consecutive year, the Glasgow-based club then lost their opening Scottish Premiership clash of the season at Hearts.

Get French Football News’ White has urged Celtic to boost their options by signing Soppy.

He told Football FanCast: "He's very inexperienced and very attacking. Soppy likes to take players on and is very good on the ball.

"He has a lot of potential and there's a reason why all these clubs are interested in him - he has talent.

"I definitely think he has the potential and can make an impact at Celtic, absolutely."
