Stuart Armstrong will reportedly sign a new Celtic contract.
The report claims that an agreement has been reached between the club and the player. And Celtic are expected to announce the news in the next 48 hours.
Armstrong’s contract is due to expire at the end of the campaign, and he has been stalling over the length of Celtic’s offer of an extension.
The 25-year-old is a key player for Celtic and played a massive role last season in helping the club win the historic domestic treble.
However, his contract situation has alerted several Premier League clubs, with Swansea reportedly showing an interest in signing the midfielder.
Rodgers was confident that Armstrong, who scored 17 goals last season, would sign a new deal sooner rather than later.
However, the Celtic boss criticized Armstrong’s advisors on Tuesday over the length of time taken for the midfielder’s new deal to be agreed.
The news will come as a huge sigh of relief to the Celtic camp. As it stands, it is now only a matter of time before he puts pen to paper over a new contract.
