Celtic are closing in on a deal to sign Kasper Schmeichel. The 37-year-old is a Premier League winner from the famous Leicester success of 2016 but will be looking to earn silverware in Scotland as he links up with Brendan Rodgers again.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update to confirm that an announcement is imminent. Taking to Twitter/X, Romano confirmed that the Danish Internationalist would sign a deal for one year but with an option to extend.

The player is set to complete a medical with a deal expected to be announced this weekend.

Celtic can buy themselves time by bringing in a seasoned No.1 like Schmeichel as they look to prepare to bring in a younger No.1 to replace him in the long term. This could be a precursor to moving for Kelleher in the next couple of years, potentially.
