After KT, Celtic close in on English deals

Celtic are nearing a deal to sign highly rated defender Isaac English from Championship side Greenock Morton…

As per Scottish Sun, Brendan Rodgers’ side is close to finalising a £50,000 transfer fee for the 17-year-old starlet.

English has been involved in training sessions with Dougie Imrie’s first team at Cappielow and stood out while helping Morton’s under-18s secure the Club Academy Scotland Performance League championship last season.

Isaac English is not the only talented prospect expected to join the ranks at Celtic this summer. Indeed, Sky Sports revealed that teenage Fulham forward Callum Osmand has reached an agreement to transfer to the Scottish champions following a successful medical.

This news follows the emotional return of Kieran Tierney to Celtic, which was announced earlier on Tuesday. “Everybody’s known for a few months, and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,” said the defender.

“I spoke with the manager, and obviously, I had worked with him before, and I’ve always kept in touch with him. He’s one of the best, so I’m so lucky and grateful that he’s given me the chance to come back again.”

“When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I’m definitely a different person. Player-wise, it’s the same as I always say – I’ll try and work my hardest, I’ll do my best for the club, and that’s all I can do.”

“My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic.”
