Celtic are reportedly now readying a 'huge' offer for Ange Postecoglou in the hope that they can tie him down to a new deal.

The Lowdown: Brighton target

It was reported that the Hoops boss was a 'key target' for Brighton and Hove Albion after Graham Potter left to join Chelsea, and while they have since appointed Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach, Postecoglou's name is still in the rumour mill.

Indeed, pundits believe he will become a target for several other Premier League clubs thanks to his excellent start to life at Celtic.

The Latest: 'Huge' offer ready

As per Football Insider, the Hoops are now readying a 'huge' offer for Postecoglou in the hope that he will sign an improved long-term contract.

They are keen to tie him down after he was targeted by the Seagulls, and want to make it harder and more expensive for any other clubs to try and poach him.

The Verdict: Deserved

A bumper new deal for Postecoglou would be fully deserved, and would help fend off any potential interest from other clubs in the Premier League or abroad.

He is currently averaging 2.21 points per game at Parkhead, the most for any side that he has managed, and of course helped wrestle the Scottish Premiership title back off of the hands of bitter rivals Rangers last season.

The Australian has made a good start to this league campaign as well, sitting two points clear at the top of the table, and could be set for back-to-back titles with the Bhoys.
