Haissem Hassan 'finalises' Celtic transfer as winger to beat the deadline and fire Champions League boost A deal is all-but rubber-stamped with the 25-year-old winger expected in Glasgow imminently Long-term Celtic target Haissem Hassan has "finalised" his transfer to the Premiership champions with an official announcement imminent. Record Sport revealed Hoops chiefs were confident of landing the Egypt international below his £10m release clause and now an agreement has reportedly been struck. A fresh report from Spain states Hassan's deal with Celtic is all-but rubber-stamped with the 24-year-old winger expected in Glasgow imminently. Celtic have tracked Hassan since before his head-turning display in the last 16 of the World Cup against Argentina and now the deal is on the verge of an official announcement. And it looks certain Hassan's deal will be registered before Thursday's Champions League deadline ahead of Celtic's showdown with LASK in the playoff round. Celtic monitored both the Oviedo wide man and Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis, however, the deal for the Algerian led to the Hoops – and rivals Rangers – walking away from protracted negotiations with the Serie A new boys.
