Can Celtic sign Jahmai Simpson-Pusey permanently?
There is no clause in the defender’s contract that suggests that Celtic would have an option or obligation to buy him permanently at the end of the season.
Man City have big plans for the youngster after he spent time playing for the first team and it’s believed that the loan to Celtic is being used to help develop him ahead of playing a more crucial role at the Premier League giants.
In the past, Celtic have had a good relationship with Man City after successful loans for the likes of Jason Denayer and Patrick Roberts.
