Scottish champions Celtic are reportedly locked in talks with Manchester City over the loan signing of teenage attacker Patrick Roberts.

The 18-year-old joined Man City from Fulham in the summer transfer window, but has only played four minutes of Premier League football for Manuel Pellegrini's side this season.

Last week, Pellegrini hinted that the teenager could be allowed to leave on loan in this transfer window and according to Sky Sports News, Celtic lead the race for his signature.

Man City parted with £12m to sign the youngster from Fulham, despite the fact that he had failed to score in 20 first-team appearances for the Cottagers.
