The 24-year-old Moroccan international currently plays for a club based in Budapest, Hungary, known as Ferencváros. Ryan has had an amazing season with the current club, scoring a whopping 19 goals in 37 games, and winning the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, which is the top-tier league in Hungary.

He seems to be enjoying his life at his present club as the Ferencvaros sporting director told Nemzeti Sport that the player was staying where he was this summer. It is reported by the Daily Record, Mmaee has been brought to the attention of the Scottish champions.

3. Connor Barron

Celtic have been watching the young midfielder closely, especially since his recent appearances for Scotland U21. At the age of just 19, he has been showing great maturity and has been helping a struggling Aberdeen team. He is an energetic player and has made 15 senior appearances for Aberdeen in the second half of the campaign after spending the first half on loan with Kelty Hearts.

He also earned himself a nomination for the PFA young player of the year award. The youngster would definitely not waste the chance of playing for the best club in Scotland, if the club decides to give him a chance.

2. Ko Itakura

Ko Itakurais a Manchester City player who is currently playing on loan for Schalke. The Japanese defender has been a target for Celtic, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach as well.

After Manchester City decided to bump up their asking price of about £4 million, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach seemed to have taken a step back from signing Itakura, which means he is very much a viable option for Celtic and we could very possibly see him at Parkhead next season. Itakura is a strong defender and a versatile and well-positioned player who is also capable of scoring goals.

1. Bailey Rice

Both Rangers and Celtic are in a race to sign the 15-year-old Scottish Starlet who plays for Motherwell and is considered currently the most talented young player in Scotland. Some EPL teams including Manchester City have also shown an interest in signing the kid.

Motherwell, on the other hand, are also trying their best to get him to stay at Fir Park but Rice would definitely want to leave and avail himself of the opportunity to play for any of the three clubs interested in signing him. The central Defender is a versatile player and can play as a midfielder as well.
