Espanyol have made a move to sign Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura, according to the player's agent.

Nakamura is free to leave Celtic next month as his current contract is due to expire.

Celtic are believed to have tabled an offer to keep the Japanese playmaker, while his old club Yokohama Marinos are keen to lure him back to his homeland.

Nakamura's future at Celtic looks uncertain following the departure of Gordon Strachan and clubs across Europe are lining up moves for the player.

Nakamura's representative, Roberto Takuda claims Espanyol have made an approach for the 30-year-old schemer.

"It is true they (Espanyol) have approached us," Takuda told Daily Sports newspaper.
