Callum Osmand Celtic transfer edges closer after Glasgow sighting

Celtic are edging closer to the signing of Callum Osmand. 

Herald Sport sources understand the Fulham forward has been spotted at Lennoxtown on Thursday, as he finalises his move.

The former Wales U17 international is on the cusp of completing his move to the Scottish Premiership champions from the Premier League club.

Due to his contract expiring, despite Fulham offering him an extension, Celtic will only have to pay Fulham a development fee, similar to what they did when signing Moussa Dembele from the same club back in 2016.

In 22 appearances last season in all competitions for Fulham's U21 side, Osmand made 22 appearances, scoring 11 goals and assisting a further four in all competitions. 

He will join Kieran Tierney in arriving at Celtic Park from England, with his return from Arsenal officially completed last week.

With the transfer of Benjamin Nygren from FC Nordsjaelland seemingly nearing completion, as well as talks with Royal Antwerp's Michel-Ange Balikwisha, the Scottish champions are busy in the early stages of this transfer window.
