Maccabi Haifa midfielder Biram Kayal has agreed a five year deal with Scottish giants Celtic.
The 22-year-old Israeli international is expected to fly over to Glasgow for a medical in the coming few days.
Peter Lawwel, Celtic’s chief executive, is reportedly in Israel and has discussed the deal with Maccabi president Jacob Shahar. The clubs are close to agreeing a fee in the region of £1.25m. Kayal is set to earn £350,000 in his first year at Parkhead with the option of an improved salary if he impresses.
Kayal’s agent Dudu Dahan said: “Celtic have been tracking Biram for a long time. The talks are going very well and both sides are close to an agreement.”
