Celtic transfer Deadline Day state of play including Jonjoe Kenny and Olivier Ntcham latest

Here are the latest Celtic news and rumours as Neil Lennon targets defensive reinforcements on Deadline Day.

Jonjoe Kenny nears move

Everton full-back Jonjoe Kenny is closing in on a move to Celtic as Neil Lennon looks to have found his replacement for Jeremie Frimpong.

The Hoops are desperate to fill the void left by Frimpong joined Bayer Leverkusen and a new right-back is a priority for the club on Deadline Day.

And it appears they've found their man in Kenny, who is a boyhood Celtic fan.

Kenny impressed on loan at Schalke last season, but has struggled to kick on at Goodison this term and has found playing time hard to come by.

Celtic can offer him exactly that and it's expected to be all wrapped up by the end of the day with all parties keen to get it over the line.

Liverpool hijack Ben Davies deal

Liverpool look set to hijack Celtic's move for Preston defender Ben Davies.

Davies had been in talks with Neil Lennon hoping to do a deal for the centre back before the January transfer window shuts tonight.

But it seems the English Champions are going to beat their Scottish Premiership counterparts to his signature.

Reports in England suggest Jurgen Klopp wants Davies as a short-term solution to his centre back shortage.

Olivier Ntcham unlikely to move

Olivier Ntcham is unlikely to leave Celtic before the window shuts.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Newcastle and Marseille as the Frenchman made it clear his future was elsewhere.

But it appears a switch today is a long shot and it's expected he will still be a Celtic player by tomorrow.
