Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur has completed a medical ahead of his move to Celtic, according to a new report.

The 22-year-old is now understood to be finalising the paperwork on a long-term contract at the Scottish Premiership champions.

Sky Sports has reported that Celtic had agreed a deal worth around £4.5m upfront, with a further £2.3m in add-ons.

As with the arrivals of Camilo Duran, Kasper Hogh and Haissem Hassan, a substantial portion of the bonuses is linked to Celtic reaching the Champions League league phase.

In the case of the latter, the club announced the Egyptian international's move from Real Oviedo in Spain yesterday evening, becoming Celtic's third signing of the transfer window.

Speaking to club media after his unveiling, Hassan was clearly delighted to have confirmed the biggest move of his career to date.

He said, “At 24, I think it's a good moment for me to move away from Spain. I've been there for six years. With Celtic's history, all the great players, the fans and the atmosphere, I think this is the perfect moment for me.

"I know I'm joining a big club, the biggest club in Scotland, and I'm really looking forward to taking the next step."
