Jeremy Toljan is expected to leave Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund and try his hand in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic.
Celtic are expected to announce the signing of Borussia Dortmund full-back Jeremy Toljan today, according to Fussball Transfers.
The Scottish Premiership champions have tried and failed to sign a number of talented right-sided defenders this month, from Timothy Castagne to Omar Ellabdellaoui.
But Toljan appears to have emerged as their top target in the final week of the transfer window.
A £4.5 million signing from Hoffenheim in 2017 (BVB Buzz), the 24-year-old has struggled at Dortmund and hasn’t made a single Bundesliga appearance all season under Lucian Favre.
The Daily Record report that Celtic held talks with BVB on Tuesday night as they attempted to thrash out a deal.
And, according to Fussball Transfers, a breakthrough appears to have been reached with Brendan Rodgers set to welcome the speedy Toljan to Parkhead in the next few hours.
A versatile player capable of featuring on the right or the left, Toljan shone as Germany won the European U21 Championships in 2017, producing an outstanding performance against England in the semi-finals.
It is understood that he will arrive at Celtic on loan with the option of a permanent deal.
