Fulham striker Callum Osmand is due to have a medical with Celtic ahead of a proposed move north of the border for a nominal fee.
The Welsh youth international is out of contract at Craven Cottage this summer and has been lured to the Scottish giants after a personal approach from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers. The 19 year-old, who scored a hat-trick in last season’s Premier League Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage, has enjoyed an excellent season for Fulham’s under-21s – scoring eighteen goals in 31 games.
Celtic website [Celts Are Here](https://celtsarehere.com/medical-booked-celtic-closing-in-on-deal-for-fulham-striker/) broke the news of Osmand’s impending medical earlier this afternoon. The teenager is expected to become part of Celtic’s first-team squad for the new season and will only cost the Bhoys a development fee – in a similar sort of deal to the one that saw them sign former Fulham academy graduate Moussa Dembele in 2016.
Osmand’s decision represents a blow for Marco Silva, who had included him in first-team training several times this season, and leaves the Whites with just Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz as recognised senior strikers.
