Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts is reportedly on the verge of joining Celtic in the summer transfer window.
According to a report in The Daily Record this morning, Patrick Roberts will join Celtic in the next 48 hours.
It has been reported that the winger will move to the Bhoys from Manchester City on a season-long long deal which will cost up to £3 million in wages and and fees.
Roberts enjoyed a successful 18-month loan spell at Celtic before returning to his parent club City earlier this summer.
Given the competition for places in Pep Guadiola’s team, it would make sense for the 20-year-old to continue his progress and development as a footballer at Celtic Park.
A report in The Scottish Sun over the weekend outlined just how keen Roberts is on joining Brendan Rodgers’s side before the summer transfer window closes.
It was reported that City put pressure on the young winger to move to Nice, Girona and Southampton for the 2017-18 campaign.
City are reportedly unconvinced by the value of Roberts playing in the Scottish Premiership once again, but the former Fulham youngster is claimed to have set his heart on playing for the Glasgow giants, having been touched by the Celtic fans’ messages for him.
