Celtic appear to be closing in on the signing of Jahmi Simpson-Pusey after the young defender was seen at Celtic Park this afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers confirmed on Friday at his press conference that Simpson-Pusey would become the Hoops’ seventh summer signing.

There has been no official confirmation from the club yet, but the fact he was wearing full Celtic gear strongly suggests the deal is done. Simpson-Pusey has been linked with a loan move to Celtic in recent weeks, with the club keen to add promising young players to the squad.
The defender is seen as a player with good physical qualities and composure on the ball, making him a potential option for the future. Either way, the move is expected to add depth to the club’s defensive options and give the coaching staff another player to work with as the season begins.

Seeing him at Celtic Park on a matchday will only increase speculation that Celtic are set to announce his signing very soon. It’s common for clubs to complete all the paperwork and formalities before making anything public, so an announcement could be just around the corner.
For now, fans will be keeping a close eye on the club’s official social media channels for confirmation. If this afternoon’s appearance is anything to go by, Jahmi Simpson-Pusey’s move to Celtic is all but complete, and the young defender could be wearing the Hoops in an official capacity before long.
