NICE are reportedly keeping tabs on Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie, with the French side hoping to conclude a cut-price deal for the playmaker in January.
According to the Scottish Sun, scouts from the Ligue 1 outfit ran the rule over the Scotland internationalist on a "recent trip" to the UK, with Christie earning rave reviews.
And with Christie's contract winding down, the report added that Nice value the 25-year-old at around £10 million - but reckon they can get him for cheaper.
The Hoops star's current deal runs until the summer of 2022 and Celtic's asking price will only get lower if Christie decides not to renew his contract.
Nice may have to make their move relatively early if they want to get their man though, with Premier League pair Burnley and Newcastle also keeping tabs on Christie.
