SACHA KLJESTAN'S dream of becoming an All-American Bhoy looks to be shattered.

SACHA KLJESTAN'S dream of becoming an All-American Bhoy looks to be shattered.

The Chivas USA midfielder spent six days on trial at Lennoxtown last week, and returned to California in time to score a hat-trick in the friendly international win over Sweden.

The MLS have placed a price tag of around £2.5m on the 23-year-old, who has also attracted interest from clubs in Holland and Germany.

It is understood extra payments based on appearances, plus a substantial sell-on clause, would be a compulsory part of any Kljestan transfer. But indications are that Celtic are not prepared to commit to the deal at this time.

Hannover's Szlabolcs Huszti, however, is still high on the list of targets.

The Hungarian winger is continuing to reject a new contract and will be available on a Bosman at the end of the season.

As revealed in SportTimes yesterday, Manchester City's Swiss international, Gelson Fernandes, is also on Gordon Strachan's list.

A loan deal is the preferred option, but City are holding out for a full transfer and are looking for around £4-5m for the 22-year-old.

Celtic are also waiting to hear if West Brom boss Tony Mowbray will sanction Slovakian Marek Cech's move to Parkhead.

One man who has not re-emerged on Celtic's radar is Ghana captain Stephen Appiah.

The 28-year-old - a Hoops target before he suffered a serious knee injury 18 months ago - has had a trial with Spurs reserves to win a way back into football.

He comes with considerable baggage, not least because of his long lay-off following surgery. Appiah won his case to be released from his contract with Fenerbahce after taking his case to Fifa. But the Turkish club have vowed to go to court to demand a transfer fee if any club attempts to sign him.
