    And were has it been reported that the deal is agreed in principle ? 'Man city want deal done', suggests it's not yet close to completion.

    Celtic are in pole position to sign Ecuadorian youngster Jose Cifuentes, ahead of Manchester City, according to reports.

    The English champions are said to be keen on the América de Quito midfielder, but City would struggle to obtain a work permit for the 20-year-old, as he is not yet a full-time international.

    The rules on work permits in Scotland are considered to be more relaxed. Cifuentes would likely get more first-team football at Celtic, and is understood to be interested in a move to Scottish football.


    Cifuentes was part of the Ecuador squad that finished third in the recent Under-20 World Cup, and his performances are believed to have caught the eye of clubs in Germany and Italy, as well as Celtic and City.



    The Hoops are on the hunt for midfield reinforcements, after missing out on David Turnbull and with Olivier Ntcham's future still uncertain. The likes of Kundai Benyu and Eboue Kouassi also seem out of the picture at Parkhead, while Nir Bitton has been deployed as an auxiliary centre-back in recent matches and could continue there for the foreseeable.

    Cifuentes operates as a defensive midfielder, but likes to get forward. His physical strength and tidiness on the ball make him an attractive proposition for clubs looking to upgrade.

    He is still young and not the finished article however, with the right coaching, he could be moulded into a key player if he makes the move to Europe.

    Maybe why we've seemingly cooled our interest in Sawyers? Different types but still both central midfielders.

    I guess the Agent is squeezing out some more £s from City, we will not be taking him. Under the nose from City.

    Summer football's brought up a few players, I watched pretty much all Ecuador's games at the Under21 World Cup.
    Ecuador did very well the South American Champions. So a good international side.
    He plays defensive midfield, right side, maybe in a similar position to Scott Brown, if Quintero plays. Otherwise he can play left side also if Quintero's missing from the team.
    He seemed more skillful than Quintero. The two together is possibly the best pairing in midfield we could afford from that World Cup.
    He'll know at Celtic their's first team football and he's got 4 months left on his contract.
    Potentially deal of the window would be signing both.
    Given the choice of the two you'd pick Cifuentes.

    Fs is Benyu still on our books?the * the snake signed was kinda overlooked due his domestic dominance and turning players who were already there into better players
