Celtic could sign the midfielder for nothing this summer.

Some Celtic fans are urging the Bhoys to sign Youssouf Mulumbu before Hibernian beat them to it.

Mulumbu has been strongly linked with a move to Hibs as a replacement for John McGinn, who is understood to have joined Aston Villa ahead of Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are already a man light in central midfield after Stuart Armstrong’s sale to Southampton earlier in the summer.

And after he impressed for Kilmarnock last season, Mulumbu would be a popular free transfer addition in the eyes of the following Celtic supporters.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Mulumbu began his career at Paris Saint-Germain and spent six and a half years in the English Premier League with West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City.

Injuries saw the 31-year-old struggle at Norwich, but a reunion with Steve Clarke, Mulumbu’s former West Brom manager, appears to have revived his career.

Would the DR Congo international be a good free transfer addition for Celtic?
