Celtic agree permanent Jordan Lotomba deal as Feyenoord defender heads for Glasgow | OneFootball

Celtic are closing in on the signing of Feyenoord full-back Jordan Lotomba as Martin O’Neill looks to strengthen his defensive options before tonight’s Europa League registration deadline.

The Hoops have been searching for reinforcements on both sides of defence, with cover for Kieran Tierney at left-back among the priorities while Alistair Johnston’s injury has also highlighted the need for another option on the right.

Chelsea youngster Landon Emenalo had appeared to be Celtic’s leading left-back target, but that proposed move has gone quiet in recent days.

However, Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph now reports that Celtic have agreed a permanent deal with Feyenoord for Lotomba.

The 27-year-old has been given permission to travel to Glasgow to undergo a medical and complete the formalities of his move to Parkhead.

Lotomba’s versatility could prove particularly valuable to O’Neill, with the Switzerland international capable of operating at both right-back and left-back.

Celtic will now hope to get the deal over the line quickly, with the deadline to register their squad for the Europa League league phase falling at 10.59pm UK time tonight.
