Celtic are on the verge of finalizing a significant signing as the transfer window edges towards its close. Dundee captain Luke McCowan is set to join the Hoops, with the clubs currently ironing out the remaining details of the £1 million deal.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been a target for Hibernian throughout the summer, with Hibs making four bids, the latest being £800,000, which was turned down by Dundee. However, Celtic's higher offer has tipped the scales in their favor. McCowan is reportedly in Glasgow, ready to put pen to paper and complete the transfer.
This potential acquisition comes on a busy deadline day for Celtic, who have already confirmed the signings of Auston Trusty from Sheffield United and are closing in on Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels, set to become the club's record signing at around £11 million.
McCowan's experience in Scottish football, combined with his leadership qualities, will be a valuable asset for Celtic as they aim to bolster their midfield options following Matt O'Riley's departure to Brighton earlier this summer. With McCowan's move looking imminent, fans can anticipate a highly competitive middle of the park in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for official confirmation as the deadline approaches.
