The former French youth international is a name familiar with fans of the Scottish champions after he netted twice for the Romanians in their 4-3 win at Parkhead - a result which knocked Neil Lennon's men out of the Champions League qualifiers.

Romanian paper GSP, via Emanuel Ro?u, report that Celtic are set to tie up a €3.3million move by the end of the week.

The 26-year-old has previously been linked with a move to Scotland, with the same newspaper reporting that a Scottish club had made an offer in the aftermath of the Cluj win in Glasgow.

Omrani, who joined the Romanian champions in 2016 from Marseille, is a centre forward who can also play wide.

He has netted eight goals in 13 appearances in all competitions this season.

Celtic have also been linked with a loan move for Leicester City forward Fousseni Diabate.
