Celtic reportedly want to sign West Bromwich Albion midfielder Rekeem Harper.
It has been reported that Celtic manager Neil Lennon has personally watched Harper in action, and that the player himself has been to Scotland to watch the Hoops.
The Daily Record has claimed that the transfer “is likely to happen”, with the 19-year-old midfielder out of contract at the Baggies this summer.
West Brom in the Championship in England have announced on their official website that they have made a second and final offer to the teenager.
According to The Express & Star, Celtic will have to pay West Brom Fifa’s standard international compensation package of £235,000 if Harper joins the Glasgow giants.

Celtic, though, are not the only club who are reported to be interested in signing Harper, who made 13 starts and four substitute appearances in the Championship for West Brom this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 68, March 3, 2019), Tottenham want to sign Harper in the summer transfer window, while The Sun (print edition, page 58, May 10, 2019) has credited Norwich City with interest in securing the services of the 19-year-old midfielder (click here and here to read more and more).
