Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is reportedly scheduled to travel to Glasgow for a medical tomorrow prior to joining Celtic.
The central defender will commit to the Parkhead club on a season-long loan agreement from English Premier League giants Manchester City.
Simpson-Pusey has featured six times for Pep Guardiola’s first team and was named Premier League 2 Player of the Year for the 2024/25 season.
According to Sky Sports, the 19-year-old is set to journey to Glasgow on Friday to complete a medical with Celtic.
Speaking about Simpson-Pusey after he made his first Premier League appearance for City at the end of last year, Guardiola said [One Football]: “The guy [Simpson-Pusey] played really good, the young lad again, with this composure and duels and everything was good. It’s not easy for him.
“Normally the young lads, they must come in with support from the team, with Rodri in front of them, right? With the best Kyle [Walker], and defenders, and now we support him.
“Now he’s playing in a position that is difficult for him but he performed unbelievable.
“We have a central defender to help us for the future, for the next years. I’m really pleased. Always there is good news when the situation goes bad, and this is one of them.”
Simpson-Pusey could become Celtic’s seventh summer acquisition, following the arrivals of Ross Doohan, Kieran Tierney, Callum Osmand, Benjamin Nygren, Hayato Inamura, and Shin Yamada.
