Striker Patryk Klimala’s move to New York Red Bulls is expected to be rubber-stamped next week.
The move – as revealed in Record Sport earlier this week – will see Celtic receive £3.5m plus add-ons for the pacy frontman.
And interim boss John Kennedy admits he will suit a team that plays on the counter-attack.
He said: “It makes sense for us, it’s a good opportunity for him and it’s good for the club. We certainly wish Patryk all the best with that one if it gets finalised.
“Patryk is a terrific boy, he’s worked ever so hard. Even while he’s been here there have been lots of development around his know-how in games.
“He’s very much a guy who likes playing on the counter-attack, he has good speed to run in behind.
“When you have the quality we have, he’s found it difficult to get game time. This opportunity has come up and it’s probably a good fit for him.”
The 22-year-old has scored three goals in the Scottish Premiership this season from 17 appearances.
