Bosun Lawal has been spotted at the Stoke Ciry Stadium today, fueling speculation that his move to Stoke City is imminent. The Celtic midfielder was seen taking his seat for Stoke’s Championship clash against Coventry City, which ended in a 1-0 victory for the Potters.
An image circulating online shows Lawal in attendance at the match, adding weight to the reports that he is on the verge of being unveiled as Stoke’s newest signing. Sources suggest that the deal could be confirmed as early as tonight, with the 21-year-old Irishman set to swap Glasgow for the Potteries.
CeltsAreHere understand Celtic are set to receive £2 million upfront for Lawal, with additional add-ons and a sell-on clause included in the deal. Despite the fact that Lawal never made a senior appearance for the Hoops, the club will be pleased to secure a significant fee for the youngster.
For Celtic supporters, Lawal’s exit is tinged with disappointment, as many had hoped to see him break into the first team this season. However, with Brendan Rodgers indicating that the player still had more to prove, Lawal appears to have opted for a new challenge in the English Championship.
