Newly-promoted English side Hull City have made an undisclosed bid, which is believed to be around £4.5m, for Celtic striker Gary Hooper, according to the BBC.
The English forward joined the Scottish giants in 2010 and has enjoyed three productive seasons with the Hoops. He lifted two consecutive Scottish Premier League titles and two Scottish Cups with the club.
Hooper’s current contract at Celtic Park runs until next summer.
The 25-year-old won the SPL Golden Boot in the 2011/12 season, and finished as the leading goalscorer for the Celts this term.

He scored 31 times out of 51 appearances in all competitions this season, as well as assisting ten times.
The Celts are also believed to value Hooper at about £7m, but may decide to cash on him as he has just one year remaining on his contract.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon guided his side to a domestic double this season, after bagging both the SPL title and the Scottish Cup.
They also reached the Round of 16 of the Champions League this term, defeating Spanish heavyweights Barcelona in the group stages.
