Shane Duffy has reportedly 'sealed' his dream move to Celtic.
The Daily Record claim the Hoops are set to announce the signing of the Irishman after he agreed terms on a season-long loan deal.
The 28-year-old will link up with Neil Lennon's men after he returns from international duty with the Republic of Ireland and could make his debut away to Ross County.
Duffy was also targeted by West Ham and West Brom, but the die-hard Celtic fan was keen on joining the Premiership champions for their Ten in a Row bid.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber paid tribute to the defender ahead of his Parkhead switch.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Shane has been absolutely magnificent for us, literally from the day he joined.
“He is a massive character on the pitch, he is an even bigger character off the pitch. He is loved by everyone at the club.
“It is a difficult decision for Graham (Potter) because there are so many centre-backs you can accommodate in one line-up, but Shane has been magnificent.
“We will be disappointed if we do lose him, but we also understand he wants to play football.”
