Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is set to join Celtic on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed the Parkhead club will sign the defender on a temporary basis for the 2025/26 season.
It's thought the player is in Glasgow to undergo a medical before the switch to Scotland is made official.
Quizzed on a move for Simpson-Pusey, Rodgers said: "He's a very gifted young player.
"He has come through the system at Manchester City, his profile fits very much what we want from our centre halves.

"He's quick, he's dominant, he's a good defender, and of course, at Celtic your centre-backs need to be able to progress the ball and that's a big strength of his.
"We've taken him on loan for a year. We always need all our centre-backs at Celtic. You play so many games, so many intense games and he will join our squad.
"He is obviously a little bit behind because he hasn't played so many games over the course of pre-season but we have brought him through for the rest of the season and hopefully we can close that one out today."
