Auston Trusty has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Fiorentina, with the Serie A side said to be eyeing a move for the Celtic defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. While Lazio have shown interest, Fiorentina currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far in this season, Fiorentina are conceding 1.55 goals a game (34 in 22), more than they'd like compared to the Serie A standard. The hope is Auston Trusty adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Celtic continue to be linked with Kasper Hogh, Adam Montgomery and Tomas Cvancara while Fiorentina are also rumoured to be tracking Soungoutou Magassa, Kyle Walker-Peters and Sikou Niakate.
