Celtic look set to sign the big centre-back, who is reportedly undergoing a medical in London.

Christopher Jullien is in London undergoing his Celtic medical, according to The Scottish Sun.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon confirmed on Wednesday that he expects to sign the big French defender who, on Instagram, posted a photo of himself on a plane a little earlier today.

And it looks like the Toulouse centre-back was headed for the United Kingdom after The Scottish Sun revealed that he’s in the English capital undergoing a physical exam, ahead of a £7 million switch to Parkhead.

He could be Celtic’s first signing of what’s been a rollercoaster transfer window so far.

Earlier this week, Lennon walked away from a £3 million deal for David Turnbull after a knee injury was discovered in his medical.

It was the latest – and hopefully last – twist of a long-running saga which also saw the Motherwell midfielder heading to Norwich City in the Premier League at one point.

But hopefully for Celtic and their fans, Jullien’s medical is a bit more straightforward.

The 26-year-old stands at 6’5 and has been capped twice by France Under-20s.
