After KT, Celtic close in on English deals

Isaac English is not the only talented prospect expected to join the ranks at Celtic this summer. Indeed, Sky Sports revealed that teenage Fulham forward Callum Osmand has reached an agreement to transfer to the Scottish champions following a successful medical.

This news follows the emotional return of Kieran Tierney to Celtic, which was announced earlier on Tuesday. “Everybody’s known for a few months, and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,” said the defender.

“I spoke with the manager, and obviously, I had worked with him before, and I’ve always kept in touch with him. He’s one of the best, so I’m so lucky and grateful that he’s given me the chance to come back again.”

“When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I’m definitely a different person. Player-wise, it’s the same as I always say – I’ll try and work my hardest, I’ll do my best for the club, and that’s all I can do.”

“My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic.”

Brendan Rodgers, speaking to the official Celtic FC website,  added: “He is someone who has given so much to Celtic already, and I know he is so motivated and hungry to help the club bring more and more success to our fans.”
