Celtic could make a January loan move for Borussia Dortmund kid Junior Flores, with Brendan Rodgers attempting to land the midfielder for a second time.

Flores is in the last six months of of his contract in Germany.

The American Under 20 attacking midfielder signed for the Bundesliga giants four years ago, after then- Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp persuaded him to sign.

But he had to fight off strong competition from Rodgers - who had just been appointed manager of Liverpool - and PSG to land him.

But the 20-year-old has never progressed from the Borussia Dortmund II team, their reserve side, who play in the fourth tier of German football.

And he's even found his playing time for them restricted this season after suffering an ankle injury in August.

Dortmund appear prepared to cut their losses on Flores and would let him leave in January on a loan spell and release him when his contract expires this summer.

That's alerted Celtic , who have expressed an interest in Flores, along with a host of MLS clubs who are keen to return the Los Angeles-born player to his homeland.

Flores admitted he signed for Dortmund because of Klopp's influence.

He said at the time: "He’s a funny guy, he loves messing around. He’s always just kidding around.

What I like about him is he always gives young players a chance."But he's ready to relaunch his career elsewhere and Rodgers could make it second time lucky with Flores.
