Fabrizio Romano issues Greg Taylor update as Celtic exit nears

Celtic look set to lose Greg Taylor on a free transfer. PAOK have reportedly been closing in on a deal to sign the player in the last few weeks but now, it appears that the ambitious Greek side have secured the signing of the left back.

Reports earlier today suggested that a medical was booked for next week; although, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Taylor has agreed a three-year deal that will see him leave Glasgow after six successful years.

Taylor had been expected to leave Celtic given the impasse on a new contract; however, the arrival of Kieran Tierney only compounded the situation with Taylor eyed by two European sides. Tierney will command the first choice role but another player in that position will get a decent amount of game time as Brendan looks to avoid burning out the ex-Arsenal man.

Taylor leaves Celtic with 5 League Titles, 3 Scottish Cups & 3 League Cups. It is an impressive haul and it is all the more impressive given that the fullback has beaten a number of potential rivals for the slot under Neil Lennon, Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.

Good luck to GT3.
