Celtic fans are reacting on Twitter to reports their former loan star, Patrick Roberts, is close to joining Norwich City on loan.

According to The Sun, Roberts, who spent two-and-a-half successful campaigns at Celtic, is set to undergo a medical at Norwich ahead of a season-long switch from Manchester City.

Earlier this month, the 22-year-old found himself inundated with replies from Bhoys fans begging for his return after he signalled the end of his Girona loan spell on Instagram.

And it was later claimed, again by The Sun, that Celtic could be tempted to move for Roberts if they appoint Neil Lennon as permanent manager, with the Ulsterman’s predecessor, Brendan Rodgers, also keen on signing him for Leicester City.

But the following Bhoys fans don’t seem too concerned by Wednesday’s development.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Roberts would become Norwich’s first signing back in the Premier League, having clinched the Championship title last month.

Norwich currently employ the former Celtic players, Teemu Pukki and Michael McGovern.
