Celtics agree on deal to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan from Man City…

have taken their time to get going in the summer transfer window but their business appears to be picking up pace with the deadline set to pass at the end of the month.

The Hoops had signed Kasper Schmeichel, Viljami Sinisalo, and Paulo Bernardo on permanent deals to bolster Brendan Rodgers’ options, with two new goalkeepers and a central midfielder, who was on loan from Benfica last season.

They have now added to that with a £9.5m deal to bring Adam Idah back to the club on a permanent basis, after he spent the second half of last term on loan from Norwich City.The Scottish giants have agreed to pay an initial fee of £8.5m to land the Ireland international, with a further £1m in add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause for the Canaries.

He scored eight goals in 15appearances in the Scottish Premiership last season, and popped up with a 90th-minute winner in the League Cup final against Rangers at Hampden Park, with his performances convincing the club to pursue his services on a long-term basis.

After this swoop for Idah, the reigning league champions are also reportedly looking at a potential addition to their midfield ranks this month.
