Celtic confirm fourth summer signing as Brendan Rodgers details excitement

Celtic have confirmed the signing of young striker Callum Osmand from Fulham.

The Hoops were first linked to the 19-year-old several weeks ago as they attempted to lure him north from the Premier League side.

They have been successful in those attempts and confirmed the Welshman as a new signing this afternoon.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been looking to add firepower in the forward areas and is expected to continue to do so.

He becomes their fourth summer signing after Ross Doohan, Benjamin Nygren and Kieran Tierney.

Rodgers said: “We are really pleased to bring Callum to Celtic. He is a highly-rated, talented young player.


Speaking to Celtic TV, Callum Osmand said: “It feels unbelievable to be here and I am so happy to be here. It is a big step for me, and I am excited to get going.

"It’s a massive move and I can’t wait to step out at Celtic Park in front of all the fans.

“When I spoke to the manager, he was really positive. The plan and pathway he has set out for the club is top, so it’s exciting with the pathway he has for me.

“He has set out what he wants from me, and it is all really positive, so I can’t wait to get going now.

“I’ve also spoken to Matt O’Riley on the phone, so he has given me advice. He was telling me about how big the club is, how amazing the fans are and it’s a new life really. So excited is definitely the word for me.”
