Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic look set to sign Rivaldo Coetzee from Ajax Cape Town in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Coetzee will arrive at Celtic in the next 48 hours in order to finalise his move to the Scottish Premiership giants.
The South African side have already announced on their official Twitter page that they have reached an agreement with the Bhoys over the transfer of the 20-year-old defender.
Celtic have decided to go ahead with the move despite the youngster suffering an injury at the weekend.
Coetzee picked up a hamstring injury during Ajax Cape Town’s 1-1 draw with Golden Arrows in the Absa Premiership at the weekend.
The youngster will be a good addition to the team, as Celtic have problems defensively at the moment.
Meanwhile, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has said that the Glasgow giants will not sell players on the cheap.
The former Liverpool and Swansea City boss has said that the Hoops do not have to sell any player in the summer transfer window, although he has suggested that a mega-bid could change that stance.
“We don’t have a great need to sell anyone,” Rodgers told The Scottish Sun. “That is the message. There is nobody really we have to sell.”
“All the players are in a good place,” added the Celtic manager. “There will always be that moral issue in terms of finance and money they can be offered elsewhere.
“But if any player ever leaves then the buying club would have to know there are no cheap players out of Celtic.”
