Liam Shaw agrees Celtic pre-contract deal as Sheffield Wednesday starlet gets set for Paradise

Sheffield Wednesday midfield dynamo Liam Shaw will join Celtic after agreement was reached on a pre-contract.

The 19-year-old is available on freedom of contract in the summer with the Hoops able to snap him up on the same cross border deal that brought Moussa Dembele to the club from Fulham in 2016.

The versatile teenager, who can also play in defence, has been a key part of Wednesday's squad this season making 15 appearances and scoring one goal.

They were desperate to keep their star, a boyhood fan of the club, but a contract could not be agreed.

According to reports down south, his representatives have been in talks with the Championship club's power brokers for months but the Hoops have now swooped to seal a contract.

Neil Lennon's men will have to cough up a training compensation fee, suggested to be in the region of £300,000 for the Owls youth graduate.
