Bulgarian international winger Aleksandar Tonev will cost around GBP 2 M, according to his agent.

The 23-year old Lech Poznan player has attracted interest from Celtic and Lazio, among others.

His representative Gianfranco Cicchetti has now stated that his recent performances for Bulgaria have heightened his transfer fee.

"During the winter break, several Italian clubs showed interest in him, but we could not do a deal," he told the Daily Record.

"Then the price was GBP 1.5 M, but after his recent excellent displays and his hat-trick for Bulgaria against Malta, I would say the transfer is close to GBP 2 M," the agent added.

"It's best to do a deal as soon as possible because that price could rise further if he keeps going like this. "

"It's no secret Lazio are most keen. They have been watching him for over a year."

Tonev, 23, scored his first international hat-trick in last Friday's 6-0 World Cup qualifying win over Malta.
