Swansea City star Connor Roberts is catching the attention of Scottish champions Celtic, according to reports.

The Daily Record claims former Swans boss Brendan Rodgers has identified the 23-year-old as an ideal option at full-back, after missing out on Italian defender Cristiano Piccini.

Roberts has put in a series of impressive performances for club and country this season, becoming boss Graham Potter's first choice at full-back, and Rodgers is believed to have identified the Welsh international as the perfect candidate to compete with Swedish star Mikael Lustig.

The academy product is yet to sign a new deal at the Liberty Stadium, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season - a situation that has sparked fervent speculation over his long-term future.

Roberts could potentially sign a pre-contract deal with another club from January and leave the club for nothing.

However, Potter himself remains confident that Roberts will follow in the footsteps of Joe Rodon, Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton in signing a new deal at the club.

Speaking ahead of the win over Bolton, Potter said : "As far as I know it is going well and not too far away.

"It’s crossing the Ts and dotting the Is. You don’t want to discuss too much publicly as some happen quickly and others not as they have to know it is right for them and their families.

"I’m not worried, it’s part of the process and Connor is happy here. He’s enjoying his football here and sees his future here. It’s about making sure everything is right for both parties."

Roberts played the full 90 minutes of Wales' UEFA Nations League defeat to Denmark on Friday night, and has previously suggested that he's not willing to pay too much attention to the speculation over his future.

"I've got to keep on performing well on the pitch for club and country, that's my job," he said.

"I've got representatives who will support me off the pitch. That's their job to sort that out for me. At the moment I just concentrate on playing well, whether it be for club or country."
