Celtic sealed a bargain by signing Osaze Urhoghide from Sheffield Wednesday after the fee was revealed that the Parkhead side would pay to Urhoghide’s former employers. The versatile defender penned a four year deal with the Hoops, becoming Ange Postecoglou’s first signing. A Sheffield media outlet reporting that Celtic will get Urhoghide and Liam Shaw for around £350k.
According to The Star, Celtic will pay under £200k for the 21-year-old that was highly rated at Hillsborough. Given the cross border compensation rules, Celtic will sign the youngster for a fraction of his worth. With 21 appearances already to his name, Celtic have not signed a first team ready player but someone that will be working towards becoming part of the team under Postecoglou’s guidance.
The report also states that the club will pay around £150k for Liam Shaw under the same rules. The 19-year-old has been training hard under Postecoglou but like Urhoghide, Celtic have managed to seal a bargain for the versatile defender. Shaw was the subject of interest from around England but opted to continue his development in Glasgow.
