Inter Milan are considering a January move for Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.
The Serie A club are prepared to offer an initial loan until the end of the season with an obligation to buy him in the summer.
Inter are among an increasing number of top clubs sending scouts to watch O'Riley, amid an increase in his performance level again this season.
Aston Villa and West Ham have been watching him recently, as well as PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid, and all of these clubs have been present for his Champions League appearances, in which he made three assists.

Inter are discussing whether to steal a march on potential rivals by making a move when the January transfer window begins, but it would take a record fee for Celtic to agree to any deal.
Their current record sale is around £25m for Jota from Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad last summer, which trumped the £23m they earned from Arsenal for Kieran Tierney in 2019.
O'Riley recently broke into the Denmark national team. In his first 24 games of the season in all competitions he has scored nine goals and notched eight assists.
