Celtic sold Jeremie Frimpong to Bayer Leverkusen last week, and now need to find a replacement at right back.
Frimpong leaves after just a season-and-a-half at Celtic, and makes his big move to Germany on a permanent basis.
Celtic are now looking to the loan market for Frimpong’s replacement, and look set to tie up the signing of a Premier League right back.
The Daily Record note that a deal for Everton’s Jonjoe Kenny is now close, with an interesting claim in that piece about his love for the Bhoys.
It’s stated that Kenny is a Celtic fan, and has now jumped at the change to make a dream move to Parkhead.
Such a claim feels somewhat strange given that Kenny was born in Liverpool, but maybe he has family who influenced him into supporting Celtic.
The 23-year-old will arrive in Glasgow today for a medical, joining his boyhood club until the summer after a frustrating campaign.
Celtic brought in a boyhood fan over the summer in Shane Duffy, and his dream switch to Parkhead has become a nightmare with some dismal performances.
Neil Lennon will now hope that Kenny doesn’t follow the same path, and actually makes his move to Celtic a success.
