CELTIC have opened talks with Tottenham over keeper Joe Hart, according to reports.
The Hoops are thought to be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper despite having Vasilis Barkas, Scott Bain and Conor Hazard on the books.
And respected Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims Joe Hart could become the new Celtic number 1 if an agreement is reached.
Romano says negotiations are ongoing between Celtic and the Premier League club.

Sharing his tranfer update on Twitter, Romano tweeted: "Celtic have opened talks with Tottenham to sign Joe Hart as new goalkeeper. Negotiations ongoing between the two clubs.
"Aurelio Buta is still the main target as right-back, as reported days ago. Celtic are working to reach an agreement."
