Albian Ajeti is close to agreeing a deal with Celtic after Neil Lennon 'intervened' to sell the striker on a move to Parkhead.
The Hoops have agreed a season-long loan with West Ham for the forward, with an option to buy next summer.
The deal seemed to be on the verge of being complete until the 23-year-old opted to weigh up his options, while on holiday in Sardinia.
Sky Sports now claim Ajeti is on the verge of signing for Celtic after Lennon 'convinced' the Swiss international that it is the right move for him.
The deal could be completed by early next week. The Hoops will take him on loan for a year, with an option to make the move permanent for £5million in 12 months time.
Celtic are keen to add multiple strikers in the transfer window with Lennon confirming the club are in talks with free agent Steven Fletcher.
It is also reported the Parkhead club are looking at former Charlton star Lyle Taylor, while they had an initial bid for Peterborough talisman Ivan Toney rejected.
Lennon said: "We're in talks with his [Fletcher] representatives but nothing's confirmed one way or another.

"We're linked with a few [strikers] so it's obviously an area we want to add in.
"We're spinning a few plates so if we can get a quality one in it'll help us.
"We've got good strikers in the building already but it'd be really good to add another one, just for squad depth and competition."
