Celtic have today agreed a fee with Derry City for the sale of Michael Duffy.

And the 20-year-old, who scored 15 goals for the Candystripes last season, will discuss personal terms with the Scottish giants.

Duffy had two trials with Celtic in recent weeks but refused to go on a third, with Derry officials urging the Bhoys to make an offer or forget about a deal.

He impressed Celtic by scoring two goals in an Under-20 game against Newcastle United, who had first-choice goalkeeper Tim Krul in nets.

But with Celtic mulling over their next step, Duffy went on trial to Championship high-flyers Brentford with his Derry City team-mate Patrick McEleney.

And while the Bees were taken by Duffy, they decided not to make a bid, albeit with the intention of addressing the matter again in the summer.

But Mirror Sport can reveal that Celtic have today made their move, with an undisclosed fee struck with Derry and personal talks at an advanced stage.
