Russian side Rubin Kazan are said to have made a bid of over £6m for the autograph of Celtic's Ki Sung-yueng. The South Korean international has joined the Parkhead side from FC Seoul during the January transfer window in 2010 and his impressive performances helped the club win the SPL title last season. He has made 85 appearances for the club, although he missed the run-in to the title due to a hamstring injury. Ki's form during his time in Scotland has often seen him linked with other clubs, with Spurs being the latest admirer making their interest known last month. However, Ki responded to those rumours at the time by insisting he was not looking for a transfer after previously suggesting he would be prepared to discuss a new contract in the summer. Rubin Kazan, though, have not taken any notice of these words from the player and appear to be trying to test Celtic's resolve, with their initial offer having already been turned down. It is understood that Celtic are expecting Rubin to come back with an improved bid for Ki, while there remains interest from the English Premier League. The ongoing speculation regarding Ki's future at Parkhead comes at a time when fellow midfielder Victor Wanyama is also being targeted by other clubs.
