David Turnbull’s move to Celtic could be OFF.

Record Sport understands the transfer saga has taken another dramatic twist after problems were flagged up during the Motherwell midfielder’s medical.

Parkhead chiefs are now back in talks with the player and Fir Park officials to work out the best course of action for the 19-year-old after fitness issues arose when seeing specialists.

Turnbull finally looked set to seal a move to Parkhead after turning his back on a switch to Norwich City.

He was due to join Neil Lennon's squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria but the transfer has now been thrown back into uncertainty.

The Hoops initially had an offer accepted by the Fir Park club before Turnbull and his camp failed to agree terms with the Premiership champions.

That allowed Norwich City to move in and match Well's asking price, putting the teenager on the brink of the Premier League.

But, as exclusively revealed by Record Sport last week, Turnbull had a change of heart that saw him on the road back up to Glasgow and seemingly a long-awaited agreement with the Premiership champions.

Turnbull's choice attracted ire earlier on Tuesday by the Canaries' sporting director Stuart Webber.

After the Well academy graduate knocked back Celtic's opening offer, the club released a statement on Twitter hitting out at his agent.

That led Webber to insist he would not have been keen to join the Hoops had they spoken about him in that way.

He told the Pinkun: "He was with us on Thursday, talks went well and we rolled out the red carpet - as we would - and he chose Celtic, which was his choice.

"Good player, good lad, good representatives, he's chosen a great club.

"I'm not sure I would have chosen them after the way they spoke about me in the media but that's his choice.

"He's chosen a great club and I'm sure one day he'll want to play in the Premier League because it's the greatest league in the world, and hopefully he'll get that opportunity.
