Celtic closing in on deal for youngster Kundai Benyu

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers may be on the verge of a summer signing

Celtic are in advanced talks to sign out-of-contract midfielder Kundai Benyu from Ipswich, according to Sky sources.

His deal at Ipswich expired this summer and no extension could be agreed.

Scottish champions Celtic have now stepped in but Ipswich will receive compensation.

The highly rated youngster was reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs but is set to head north of the border instead.

The 19-year-old was on loan at Aldershot last year, where he made 21 appearances and scored five goals.
