The 25-year-old has been linked with the Scottish champions, who are in need of cover for Mark Wilson in the right-back position.

Mendy offered encouragement to Hoops' boss Gordon Strachan by saying: "Celtic are a great club and I would certainly consider the option of a move.

"The possibility of playing in the Champions League again is extremely attractive.

"I like British football and I enjoyed my spell on loan at Bolton in season 2002-03. That was a great experience for me.

"However, at this stage, I have not been informed of any official offer from Celtic. But I have heard that Paris St Germain are looking for a new right back.

"My contract finishes in June 2008 and, while I am happy to remain here and give my all for the club until then, I must be open to offers."
