Hide AdIt’s reported that both Aston Villa and recently relegated Fulham are looking at the striker.
Celtic will apparently only bring Hooper back to the club, where he scored 63 goals in 90 league starts before a £5million move to Norwich, if Neil Lennon is confirmed as the new permanent manager.
In the past, Hooper has also been linked with a move to the MLS in the United States.
Hooper remains popular with Celtic fans after scoring in every competition during his time at the club, including the Champions League and Europa League.
