Benjamin Nygren is reportedly expected to join Celtic.
The 23-year-old scored 16 goals in 32 games for Danish top-flight outfit Nordsjaelland last season.
The Parkhead club have been linked with a move for Nygren over the past 48 hours, and now well-placed Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that the player has chosen to join Celtic over Anderlecht following talks.

Recently addressing his future, Nygren admitted he will leave Nordsjaelland: "It’s clear that there is a lot of interest," he told fotbollskanalen.
"I have done extremely well this whole season. I have scored 15 goals and a few assists in a position as a number ten.
"I am not a number nine who will score goals but more of a player who will create chances and set up others.
"But this season I have scored a lot of goals and shown my qualities. I did that last season too, and I was injured for half of that season.
"It is a league and a team that has a lot of interest and eyes on them, and I have been a big contributing factor to us being as good as we have been.
"I will leave. I’m not thinking about the league, but more about coming to a club that shares my ambitions and that believes in me."
Brendan Rodgers has already added Kieran Tierney to his ranks this summer. It now looks like Nygren could become Celtic's second signing of the window.
