Celtic are leading the pack of clubs following Plymouth Argyle’s prolific Lorent Tolaj and his strike partner Bim Pepple.
Tolaj, who joined from Port Vale in the summer for £1.2million, and Pepple, who signed from Luton Town, have proved a big hit under former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley who is in charge at Argyle.
Between them they have scored 29 goals in all competitions this season with Tolaj claiming the lion’s share with 18.
That has alerted scouts from several English sides plus Scottish champions Celtic, who sense a bargain for the summer.

The list is growing every week, however. Goztepe are among a couple of Turkish clubs keen on Pepple, who also has interest from England plus Minnesota United and Montreal in the MLS.
The 23-year-old was born in Kettering but qualifies for Canada and they have maintained a close watching brief on his progress as they consider handing him a full international debut.
Pepple is proving a real bargain as he cost Plymouth just over £250,000 with the deal potentially rising to £600,000. He has eight goals in his last nine games including two in Saturday’s 5-2 demolition of Cardiff City, where Tolaj also notched a brace.
Argyle remain in the race for the play-offs, where just six points separate them in 11th from Huddersfield Town in 6th.
They will be hoping their front two can continue their rich vein of form to fire them into contention and suitors will be keeping a close eye on proceedings.
