The 26-year-old, who returned to the Scottish champions from Rennes in January, picked up a knee injury during Saturday's 5-0 win over Dundee United.

Celtic sold then top scorer Kyogo Furuhashi to Rennes as Jota made his move in the opposite direction in January and the latter's injury makes it even more crucial to add to his forward line.

Jota impressed in his first spell with Celtic, initially on loan from Benfica, but after being sold to Al-Ittihad in 2023, he fell out of favour with the Saudi side and at Rennes.

After breaking through in the 2023-24 season at Rennes, Doue has demonstrated his versatility since his switch to Strasbourg.

Everton were the latest British team to be linked to him when he was leaving Rennes in 2022 - and were supposedly close to signing him at one stage.
