Sacha Boey in 'advanced' Celtic transfer talks as Ange Postecoglou steps up signing bids

Sacha Boey is in ‘advanced’ talks with Celtic as the Hoops step up their transfer business.

Ange Postecoglou is looking to sign a number of players ahead of his Champions League opener next week.

And Rennes right back Boey is believed to be close to a move to Glasgow with Celtic looking to seal a number of deals in the coming days.

Swedish defender Carl Starfelt is set for a medical while Israel winger Liel Abada is also closing to completing a move.

And now Le Parisien state a move for 20-year-old right back Boey is progressing and an opening bid has been submitted.

He spent last season on loan at Dijon in Ligue 2 and Postecoglou now hopes he can cut the mustard in the Premiership.

Celtic currently only have Anthony Ralston and Osaze Urhoghide as recognised right backs in their squad.

Jeremie Frimpong left the club in January to join Bayer Leverkusen while Jonjoe Kenny returned to Arsenal after a disappointing loan spell.

The Hoops have their first competitive game of the season next Tuesday when Danish side Midtjylland travel to Celtic Park for the first leg of their Champions League tie.

The second leg is a week later before the league season kicks off with a trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts on July 31.
