The Hoops face a race against the clock to get a deal for the Sheffield United star over the line
Celtic have agreed a £6million plus deal to sign Auston Trusty - but now face an anxious wait to see if they can get a work permit before the close of the transfer window.
Sheffield United have agreed a deal with Celtic after a third bid was tabled tonight. The 26-year-old has been given permission to speak to Celtic and has travelled to London tonight for his medical. Celtic have already agreed personal terms and the US international has agreed a five year contract with the Hoops. The Scottish champions will complete the medical tests this evening and then begin the process of applying for a visa for the central defender on Friday.
Celtic will start the process first thing in the morning and will hope that they can get it fast-tracked and green lit by 11pm tomorrow evening. Brendan Rodgers wants to pair Trusty up with fellow American defender Cameron Carter-Vickers. Celtic have also lined up a club record £11million move for Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels. The 20-year-old has also agreed terms on a four year deal and is expected to arrive in Scotland tomorrow.
