Sources: Sead Haksabanovic undergoing Celtic medical today after deal agreed
Celtic have agreed to sign Rubin Kazan winger Sead Haksabanovic, sources have told Football Insider.
The 23-year-old is undergoing a medical in London today as he puts the finishing touches to a near-£2million move.
Haksabanovic has already settled personal terms with the Scottish giants.
He is seeking a move away due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and has made it clear he is very keen on a move to Parkhead.
Celtic first made a move for the former West Ham youngster earlier this month before negotiations stalled.
Football Insider reported last month (20 July) that Haksabanovic was also a target of Leicester City, Anderlecht, and French duo Stade Reims and Angers.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, FIFA gave special permission for foreign players in Russia to suspend their contracts and join another club for the rest of the 2021-22 season.
Haksabanovic returned to Sweden, the country of his birth, scoring twice and providing two assists in 11 games for Djurgarden.
The attacker joined West Ham in August 2017 though he only ended up making two appearances for the club, both of those coming in the domestic cups.
The Hammers loaned him out to Malaga and IFK Norrkoping before he joined Norrkoping on a permanent basis in January 2020.
Celtic have enjoyed a perfect start to the Scottish Premiership season with three wins in their opening three games.
They are next in action against Hearts on Sunday (21 August).
