The Sunday Mail in Scotland today claims that Cardiff are monitoring 22 year old James Forrest. Malky Mackay was said to be watching him in person when Celtic played Barcelona a few weeks ago.

Celtic are thought to rate the yougster at £7m and would not entertain a bid less than that.

With uncertainty still surrounding Mackay and his future at Cardiff City it might be a bit early to speculate on January transfer targets. But if Mackay continues in his role then he will need to have a shopping list prepared to try and add to his squad.

Forrest impressed last week in Celtic's Champions League victory over Ajax.
