Rapid Vienna issue statement with Celtic-linked Isak Jansson 'set' for transfer

Isak Jansson, who has been linked with a move to Celtic in recent days, is reportedly set to join Nice. 

The winger was brought to Rapid Vienna to replace Nicolas Kuhn a year and a half ago. 

Similar to the German wide man, Jansson is on the move this summer. Indeed, Sky Sports in Austria claims that he is 'set' to join Nice in a deal worth €10 million, a new record sale for Rapid.

He has left the club's summer training camp to seal a move. 

A statement from the Austrian Bundesliga side read: "In consultation with SK Rapid's sporting management, Isak Jansson has left SK Rapid's summer training camp in Freistadt, Upper Austria, early. 

"The Swedish winger was given permission to leave for talks with a club abroad interested in signing him. 

"This means that the 23-year-old Scandinavian will no longer be seen at the public training scheduled for this Wednesday at 4pm in Freistadt."

Celtic have already secured the services of five players this summer. Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan both returned to the club on free transfers, as Benjamin Nygren joined from Nordsjaelland in Denmark. 

Callum Osmand and Hayato Inamura soon followed, with the pair both featuring in a 2-1 friendly win over Cork City on Tuesday evening.
