New Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is reportedly keen to entice Chelsea's youngster Fankaty Dabo to Scotland.

The defender is yet to turn out for the Premier League club at senior level, although he has featured regularly for the Under-21s.

Nevertheless, The Sun claims that Rodgers has contacted the Blues regarding a season-long loan agreement.

The report adds that Rodgers is hopeful his side's participation in the Champions League will help to conclude the deal.

England youth international Dabo, 20, joined Chelsea aged 11.
