# Celtic: Hoops set to complete Sead Haksabanovic deal this week

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) are set to complete the signing of Rubin Kazan winger Sead Haksabanovic in the next 48 hours, according to Sky Sports journalist [Anthony Joseph](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph).**

### The Lowdown: Haksabanovic deal agreed

The Montenegro international has been a [long-term target](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sead-haksabanovic-jets-celtic-transfer-27805162) 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](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) side have another chance to seal a move, with a fee allegedly already [agreed](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/sead-haksabanovic-celtic-cut-price-24791139) upon.

The 23-year-old has already been in Glasgow for the past few days to finalise his transfer, with Ange Postecoglou [admitting](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ange-postecoglou-celtic-transfer-tease-27797068) last weekend that the contract was ‘getting close’.

### The Latest: Celtic set to announce Haksabanovic

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/anthonyrjoseph/status/1562403861821902848?s=21&t=6rN9HZ_YjQbK6KUI21pHXQ), 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sead-haksabanovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/349300) 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.
