Scottish Premiership champions Celtic are set to pay £1.75million for Ukrainian winger Shved.
Maryan Shved is on the verge of becoming Celtic’s latest signing in a busy transfer window.
According to Sky Sports, the reigning Ukrainian league Player of the Year is undergoing a medical with the Scottish Premiership champions as he edges closer to a shock move to Parkhead.
Links with the little-known 21-year-old raised plenty of eyebrows, not least from some seemingly unimpressed Celtic supporters, when the rumours emerged earlier this month.
The Scottish Sun reports that Shved is set to cost around £1.75 million thanks to a clause in his contract that allows him to leave Karpaty Lviv for a foreign club on a bargain fee.
But Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers did not seem too enamoured with Shved’s impending arrival recently, suggesting that he would be loaned out for the rest of the season before being assessed in the summer.
“We’ve got about a million wingers and don’t need another one,” Rodgers told Sky Sports. “But he’s a talent and in the summer we’ll probably lose wingers and he’ll look to come in.”
Shved might have a lot to prove on the green half of Glasgow but he has a reputation in Ukraine for being an exciting and eye-catching winger capable of producing the spectacular.
He has scored eight goals in 18 games for Karpaty Lviv this season with many of those stunning long-range strikes with his trusty left boot.
