Glasgow Celtic's Super Eagles-eligible central defender Moritz Jenz is being linked with a departure from the Scottish champions in the January transfer window. 

The Lorient-owned player joined the Hoops on a season-long loan last July with an option to buy him outright at the end of the season. 

The 23-year-old was one of the first names on manager Ange Postecoglou's teamsheet for the group stage of the Champions League, going the distance in all the matches played by the Bhoys. 

But things have been looking bleak for Jenz since the restart of domestic action, with the center back not tasting action in eight consecutive matches across all competitions.

Celtic's capture of promising Japanese youngster  Yuki Kobayashi has further pushed him down the pecking order of central defenders. 

According to Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph, Jenz is exploring his options amid interest from unnamed clubs in Germany. 

He turned out for the youth teams of  Alemannia 06 Haselhorst, SC Siemensstadt and Tennis Borussia Berlin before leaving his native Germany for the Fulham academy in 2015.
