    CELTIC are lining up a deal to land Birmingham youngster Mitchell Roberts ahead of Manchester City.

    The Scottish champions’ transfer window remains open, which gives them the edge in the race for the 18-year-old defender.

    But Celtic are also firmly in the running for the centre-back and believe they can land him while the Premier League window is closed.

    The teenager signed a one-year pro deal in the summer and is expected to sold for the right price.

    Roberts has been with Birmingham since 2011 after playing Sunday league football and getting scouted by Blues.

    That’s positive.

    And he cites City centre-back John Stones as his hero after the England star’s emergence in his position.

    City can't get him, but how much would we be willing to pay for an unproven player? I suppose a natural CB is better backup than Biton.

    Would be a bit of coup but it's a bit farcical that club develops talent and lose him so young.. Like us to Bayern earlier in the window.

    So he's only just signed a new year deal. Won't be a cross border then..

    Much easier pathway to our first team and we could do with someone who can step up throughout the season..

    Wonder if this lad is to replace the boy that Bayern singed fae us?

    Mad how we lost one of the most promising centre half’s we have produced in years.

    Sadly this is the way its going. Luckely in the past we have been pretty exempt of that and kept our biggest talents. If i see my national team (Belgian) half of them have been bought of foreign teams whilst they were in the youth. Never played a game for any local clubs on pro level.

    Is he left-footed, by any chance?

    We should be shown to be leading the way & be above that sort of thing.

    I'm guessing this is the only thing we'll spend money on now, projects to make money.

    The rest will be loans due to not qualifying for CL.

    Seems to be the way we're going now, then it'll be lose 3 or 4 loans and back to square 1. Sell a prized asset and keep it as cover for CL failure.

    We have already spent money on Julien & Boli & still apparently in the market for signing.
