Celtic will land former West Brom star Youssouf Mulumbu on a two-year deal – and the signings won’t stop there.

The Scottish champions beat off competition from Swansea and Bordeaux as well as a number of other clubs to capture the former Premier League midfielder.

Mulumbu starred for Kilmarnock last season after joining the Rugby Park side in November as a free agent.

He even scored against Celtic in February as Killie stunned Brendan Rodgers’ men at Rugby Park.

The 31-year-old was at Celtic Park on Thursday afternoon for signing talks.

Mulumbu will be Rodgers’ fifth signing of the summer if he passes a medical following the £9m deal for Odsonne Edouard, Daniel Arzani on loan, Scott Bain from Dundee and the return of Emilio Izaguirre.

And it’s understood more is to come.

Mulumbu began his career at Paris Saint-Germain before joining West Brom in 2009. He spent six years at the Hawthorns and made 191 appearances before securing a move to Norwich City.

He then left East Anglia after two years to sign a short-term deal with Kilmarnock.

The defensive midfielder has played 36 times for his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Rodgers still wants a centre-back while Moussa Dembele’s future remains in the balance as Lyon attempt to lure the striker back to France.
