Fulham striker Callum Osmand is due to have a medical with Celtic ahead of a proposed move north of the border for a nominal fee.

The Welsh youth international is out of contract at Craven Cottage this summer and has been lured to the Scottish giants after a personal approach from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers. The 19 year-old, who scored a hat-trick in last season’s Premier League Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage, has enjoyed an excellent season for Fulham’s under-21s – scoring eighteen goals in 31 games.

Celtic website Celts Are Here broke the news of Osmand’s impending medical earlier this afternoon. The teenager is expected to become part of Celtic’s first-team squad for the new season and will only cost the Bhoys a development fee – in a similar sort of deal to the one that saw them sign former Fulham academy graduate Moussa Dembele in 2016.

Osmand’s decision represents a blow for Marco Silva, who had included him in first-team training several times this season, and leaves the Whites with just Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz as recognised senior strikers.
