Richard Kone is attracting interest from several clubs such as Brentford, Crystal Palace, Norwich City, Toulouse in France, and Belgian team Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Celtic is facing competition in their efforts to sign Kone. Wycombe Wanderers, the club where Kone currently plays, have previously rejected offers over £5 million from Luton Town and are now expected to demand a fee near £7 million. This situation complicates Celtic's plans, as they would prefer not to meet the asking price unless they can obtain significant funds from the potential sale of their star forward, Daizen Maeda. Kone, a 22-year-old striker from Ivory Coast, made a strong impression with 21 goals and five assists last season, which earned him the League One Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards. Despite Celtic's interest, they face strong competition from other clubs, including Toulouse, which is eager to acquire the striker.
