Celtic are reportedly set to sign defender Andrew Gutman.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are set to sign American youngster Andrew Gutman – just weeks after he started a trial with Old Firm rivals Rangers.
The Bhoys have snapped up three new players already this month, landing winger Oliver Burke as well as strikers Timothy Weah and Vakoun Issouf Bayo.
Brendan Rodgers remains keen on new faces, and reports from The Athletic earlier this week suggested that Celtic were looking to snap up Gutman ahead of Rangers.
Gutman was spotted to have followed Celtic on Twitter yesterday, sparking rumours that a deal with the Bhoys was moving closer and closer.
Now, The Scottish Sun report that Celtic are set to secure a deal for Gutman, who will move to Glasgow this month subject to a work permit.
The 22-year-old is currently in the US collegiate system with the University of Indiana, and recently won the Hermann Trophy for his performances – a hugely prestigious award in the States.
A young attacking left back, Gutman joined Rangers on trial last month alongside compatriot Matt Polster, but now appears to be signing for their biggest rivals in a shock turn of events, becoming Celtic’s fourth January addition.
