Celtic are trying to sign the Tottenham striker Robbie Keane on loan until the end of the season.
The Glasgow club are in talks with the Republic of Ireland international and hope to conclude the deal before Monday's midnight transfer deadline.
The 29-year-old has been consistently linked with a move to Celtic Park.
Celtic have already added Diomansy Kamara from Fulham on loan and Morten Rasmussen from Brondby during January to bolster their strike force.
The Keane talks follow Australia international Scott McDonald's transfer to Middlesbrough minutes before the closure of the 1700 GMT deadline for incoming transfers in England.
Keane, a lifelong Celtic fan, is his national team's captain and all-time top scorer with 41 goals in almost 100 games.
He signed for Spurs in 2002, making almost 200 appearances and scoring 80 goals, before joining Liverpool for around £20m in July 2008.
However, he went on to make only 15 appearances for the Anfield side and rejoined Spurs in February 2009 for £12m, taking his cumulative transfer fees to more than £70m.
His previous clubs include Wolves, Coventry, Inter Milan and Leeds.
