# Celtic: Fans react to transfer links with Mame Biram Diouf

**Celtic fans have been reacting to reports that the club is preparing a bid for Stoke City striker Mame Biram Diouf.**

The Senegalese forward is coming to the end of his Potters’ contract, which [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mame-diouf/profil/spieler/62049#subnavi) in the summer. Having just turned 32, it may be time for a new challenge for the former Manchester United man.

Diouf was actually signed by the Old Trafford club’s legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but scored just [once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mame-diouf/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/62049) during nine first-team appearances.

Since being at Stoke, he has scored [25](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mame-diouf/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/62049) goals and provided 10 assists in [154 outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mame-diouf/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/62049), his longest stint at one club throughout his career.
