Celtic are reportedly closing in on an audacious deal for free agent Lassana Diarra, who previously held talks with Tottenham over a potential move to the Premier League club.

Social media is awash with rumours claiming the Frenchman is on a flight to Glasgow to discuss a potential deal with the Scottish club.

It follows reports yesterday linking Celtic with a move for the one-time Real Madrid midfielder, who made almost 90 appearances for Los Blancos and would bring a wealth of experience to the Hoops midfield.

No chance of this happening. His wages would be a huge stumbling block

The Celtic v Partick Thistle match that was postponed on the opening day of the season has been rearranged for Wednesday 3rd December with a 19:45 k.o. time.
Could that be the night we go back to the top of the league? I think we'll be top before that match comes around.

Latest on Lassana Diarra.
--------------------------------

It has been suggested that Marseille, Monaco, Spurs, Zenit Saint Petersburg, West Ham and Al Ain are amongst the clubs who have been approached regarding Diarra.
A deal might be possible with Marseille but not at anything close to the asking price - if that's the case then Celtic could become another option for him.
There may well have been an approach to Newcastle as well and it's surprising there is no interest from Turkey which is a common destination for the well paid.
There is a lot of effort being made to find him a deal.

Any truth that Diarra is coming up for signing talks ed? Can't see it myself but it's starting to pop up all over the place.

{Ed007's Note - It's popping up everywhere, Daz, but it's all coming from the same source, a whore-hitting website that pays youngsters to make up stories. Personally I'm not wearing it at all, I've asked Ed002 if she can find anything out for me but she says there's nobody willing to pay the kind of money him and his people are looking for.}

Ed, any truth in we've held talks with Lassana Diarra who is currently a free agent? Just when i'm thinking we could do with a natural anchor and a bit experience defensively, this pops up!

{Ed007's Note - As far as I know nobody has shown any real interest in Diarra because of the costs involved, that hasn't stopped his agent hawking him around Europe though. Could he be another player whose agent is using our name to try and drum up interest in his player? He would have to take something like £50/60k a week drop in wages to join us.}

Cheers Ed and sorry, didn't realise you'd already responded to similar questions. Thought silly season had ended so ain't been on the rumours page. Really rated him at Real but if we are going to break the wage structure that much, I'd rather it be a quality player with plenty time on his side. Didn't think he would have been on quite that much.

{Ed007's Note - No probs.}
