Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Crystal Palace.

Last summer, Armstrong opted to pen a new two-year contract with the Glasgow giants, despite interest from south of the border, and the playmaker went on to feature on 35 occasions this season.

However, Celtic again find themselves in a situation where English clubs are looking to sign the 26-year-old and according to The Express, Palace are ready to make their move.

Eagles manager Roy Hodgson is looking to improve his creative options ahead of the next campaign and Armstrong could fit the bill, with Celtic likely to consider offers for the Scotland international.

Armstrong has enjoyed a successful three-and-a-half years with Celtic, scoring 28 goals from 144 appearances in all competitions.
