Lazio and Fiorentina are facing competition from Celtic in their attempts to sign Bulgarian international Aleksandar Tonev.

The Lech Poznan player can act as midfielder, wide man or even a support striker.

He just turned 23 last month and grew up in the CSKA Sofia youth academy before joining Polish side Lech Poznan in 2011.

There is Serie A interest for Tonev from the likes of Lazio and Fiorentina, but British newspapers suggest Celtic are also preparing an offer.
