Celtic on the verge of adding flying Ajax winger Boerrigter for £2m

Celtic are poised to clinch a £2million deal for flying Dutch left winger Derk Boerrigter.

Ajax have accepted a bid from the Scottish champions and the 26-year-old will now pen a three-year deal to become Neil Lennon's fourth signing of the close season pending the results of a medical examination.

Boerrigter missed Saturday's Dutch Super Cup 3-2 triumph over AZ Alkmaar with an ankle injury.

And injuries were a persistent problem for the wide man as he slipped down the Amsterdam Arena pecking order under Frank de Boer last season.

With just a year left on his current deal Boerrigter is in his second spell at Ajax and has claimed 12 goals in 47 appearances, including a vital strike against PSV as the Dutch champions closed in on a second successive title last season.

He was called up for the Dutch senior squad in 2011, but pulled out due to a back injury and remains uncapped.

Celtic are also chasing a striker reports in Holland claim they have also enquired over Heerenveen's prolific striker Alfred Finnbogasson.

The Icelandic international spent two years in Edinburgh as a child and has expressed an interest in joining the Parkhead side after adopting Henrik Larsson as his idol.

The Parkhead side have until Tuesday night to add one player as a wildcard to their Champions League squad to face Elfsborg in the third qualifying round first leg.
