Former Celtic kid 'set' for EPL exit as ex-Rangers man agrees deal to take him to Swansea City

Former Celtic youngster Armstrong Oko-Flex is set to depart West Ham on a season-long loan.

The one-time Hoops attacker will drop down to the English Championship with Swansea City for the season under former Rangers defender Russell Martin. He will be greeted with a familiar face from Parkhead in midfielder Olivier Ntcham.

The 20-year-old was handed his top team Hammers debut by David Moyes in the Europa Conference League win over Viborg last week that secured safe passage to the group stage of the competition. He hooked up with the English Premier League side last year after his contract at the Celtic expired.

During his time in Glasgow he made two top team appearances for the Scottish champions but he will now be hoping he lands a vast numbers of games and experience in England's second tier this campaign.

Oko-Flex was an unused sub in the opening day defeat to Manchester City but has failed to land a spot in the squad in the three league games since.

His two outings for Celtic came in draws against Hibs and Livingston back in January 2021.

Swansea City currently sit 22nd in the English Championship after picking up just five points from five league games.

They've lost their last two outings against Luton Town and Middlesbrough.
