Wigan will face a battle to sign Scunthorpe striker Gary Hooper after Celtic joined the race for the in-demand 22-year-old.
Latics boss Roberto Martinez is anxious to add extra firepower to his side's attack and has identified the Iron's 20-goal hitman as a potential candidate to do just that.
However, the Daily Mail claims Celtic stand-in manager Neil Lennon is also keen on Hooper and has even made personal checks on him and come back impressed by what he has seen.
Wolves, Coventry, Ipswich and Derby are rumoured to be interested in the forward as well, who has a year left on his contract after joining Scunthorpe for just £175,000 from Southend in July 2008.
