Celtic are set to complete the signing of Rubin Kazan winger Sead Haksabanovic in the next 48 hours, according to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph.

The Lowdown: Haksabanovic deal agreed

The Montenegro international has been a long-term target of the Hoops, having missed out on him last year before he made his big-money move to the Russian First League.

However, due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the Scottish Premiership side have another chance to seal a move, with a fee allegedly already agreed upon.

The 23-year-old has already been in Glasgow for the past few days to finalise his transfer, with Ange Postecoglou admitting last weekend that the contract was ‘getting close’.

The Latest: Celtic set to announce Haksabanovic

Taking to Twitter, Joseph revealed that Haksabanovic is likely to be unveiled as a new Celtic player before Dundee United.

Asked by a fan whether there was any news on the deal, he wrote:

“All but done. Should be completed this week.”

The Verdict: Star in the making

The Bhoys have already made seven new signings this summer and it looks like that number is about to become eight with Haksabanovic, and what a fantastic addition he will be.

The Sweden-born talent is naturally a left-sided player, having recorded an outstanding 40 goal contributions in just 56 appearances down that flank, but offers plenty of versatility and can play on either wing, as well as anywhere in midfield and as a second striker.

Haksabanovic is at that age where he’ll have a point to prove, and having Postecoglou as his manager will only allow him to flourish and fulfil his potential at Celtic Park for many years to come.
