CeltsAreHere exclusively revealed earlier that Fulham striker Callum Osmand was set for a medical ahead of a move to Celtic — and the latest update confirms he’s now passed that stage of the deal.
Mark Hendry has reported that the 19-year-old has successfully come through his medical, putting him on the verge of completing a switch to Parkhead. The young Welshman is out of contract at Fulham, with Celtic due to pay a training compensation fee to land the forward.
Osmand looks likely to become the first piece of business for Brendan Rodgers this summer, with the Hoops manager keen to strengthen his forward options. The striker impressed in Premier League 2 last season, scoring 10 and assisting four across 17 appearances.
Importantly, our sources have indicated that Osmand is being lined up for the first-team squad rather than a development role. With question marks surrounding Johnny Kenny’s future, the teenager could get his chance sooner rather than later.
Rodgers is understood to be a fan of Osmand’s attributes, and the move represents a continuation of the club’s focus on young talent with first-team potential.
Celtic will now look to tie up the final details, but with the medical completed and terms progressing, Osmand’s arrival could be confirmed before long.
