Celtic are one of several clubs that are looking to sign Republic of Ireland international James McCarthy on a pre-contract agreement.

The Crystal Palace midfielder's contract expires in the summer, meaning that McCarthy is free to sign a pre-contract with any club before moving in the summer.

McCarthy is one of a number of Crystal Palace players who could see their contract expire this season, with Roy Hodgson admitting that it is a concern. However, according to the MailOnline, the club are looking to lower their age profile.

Celtic have been continually linked with McCarthy throughout his career, with McCarthy admitting that he was a Celtic fan growing up.
